Best Answer

The resistor in the heating/air conditioning system controls the blower speed. As the fan speed switch is turned, the resistor adjusts the amount of current to the blower motor, changing the fan speed.

Power delivered by 10ohms resistor and 25volt?

The power dissipated by a resistor is E2/R .If the "25volt" is the potential difference (voltage) between the ends ofthe resistor, then the resistor dissipatesE2/R = (25)2/10 = 62.5 watts .That's quite a fair amount of power ... more than you could expect to dissipatefrom a typical carbon composition resistor. This particular resistor is somethinglike a heating coil in a toaster or a large acquarium, for example.

Where is the rear blower motor resistor on a 2004 gmc envoy XL?

It is on the heating unit on the back facing away from the inside of the car. Not an easy place. Service manual tells you to remove the whole unit to get at it. Which means removing the heating and cooling pipes that enter the back of the car under the heating unit and pulling the heating unit out.
