Disconnect the battery negative cable. !!!Power is still on when ignition switch off!!!
I have Olds Intrigue 2000. Blower control resistor (Controller) located behind the
blower motor. Very close to the firewall, and it is a pain in the neck to get there.
Using 5.5 mm. socket remove the blower first. (3 screws are holding the blower)
Using the same socket (5.5 mm) remove one visible screw which holds the resistor.
You will have to loosen two other screws located between the resistor and firewall. You don't need to remove them completely, just loosen them! Resistor just slides out
when they loose.

Disconnect the battery negative cable.
Remove the RH instrument panel insulator retainers. Adjust the carpet for access.
Disconnect the courtesy lamp from the instrument panel insulator by turning 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
Remove the RH instrument panel insulator.
Disconnect the electrical connectors from the blower motor resistor.
Disconnect the blower motor resistor electrical connector from the blower motor.
Loosen, do not remove, both forward screws. The blower motor resistor opening is slotted as access is extremely limited.
Remove the rearward screw.
Remove the blower motor resistor.

It is under the dashboard against the firewall. You have to remove the blower motor first by folding yourself up into a ball, but it can be done.
You need to replace the blower motor resistor located near the glove box.
replace the blower motor resistor. it is located on the firewall near the heater hoses.
Ain't no fixin it, you have to replace it with a new one.
resistor for fan blower is in back of glove box, beside the blower itself.
Take it to someone who knows how, unless you're a certified Ford mechanic.
heat not working
Please email me a photo of where the blower motor resistor is and how to change it. Thanks, Michael. By the way I want it for a 2000 Sunfire not a Grand Am.
The blower is controlled by the blower switch, blower resistor, and relevant power relay.
resistor usually located by blower motor.blower only works on low or high,then replace resistor .do not replace hvac unit in dash waste of time and money
the resistor has melted the variable settings. Replace resistor under passenger dash.
