3800 blower motor resistor...

[zeez gtp]

ok, fan controls 1-4 don't work. so i searched on clubgp and found some pics of it. they say to remove the 3 bolts that hold it in. i found them, but how are you supposed to get them out, i see one that is tucked in so far i don't know how to get the bolt out. i tried searching for awhile but couldn't find any good write up's. anyone have any tips on this?? thanks

Mine doesn't work either on 1-4....read somewhere (can't remember where) that you can either cut or break that last one that's a pain to get to and when you put the new one in the two easier ones hold it in place just fine.

its a PITA.


I used a 1/4 drive swivel socket..


but i was able to just remove the front 2...and the yank that bad sucker outta there...I broke it....but it didn't matter since it was bad anyway.

Then you've got a clear access to remove the last one...LOL


not the right way to do it...but it got the job done for me

I took the blower motor assembly off too...just for more room

Exactly the way I did mine...remove the blower motor for more room then I removed the front 2 screws and then wiggle and pull it will break off the rear screw. then you have all the room in the world to get it out. when i put the new resistor in i just used the front 2 screws and left the back empty..it holds it there just fine. this way if you ever have to do it again it will be an easy job.

hah, I actually took a file and filed down the edges to get to the rear bolts. Then after I loosened it just a little, I took it out. I slid the new one in and just tightened the front
