Tools required:
6mm socket/ratchet
7mm socket/ratchet
Socket U-joint with extension
Step 1: Loosen and remove the 7mm bolts (3) that hold the protective panel in place beneath the glove compartment. Remove this panel.
Step 2: Disconnect the blower motor resistor's wiring harness (1).
Step 3: Loosen and remove the 6mm bolts (2) that secure the resistor to the component.
You will need to use the U-joint and an extension to reach the bolt.
Step 4: Mount the resistor to the component by tightening the 6mm bolts (2).
Step 5: Connect the resistor's wiring harness (1).
Step 6: Tighten the 7mm bolts (3) that secure the protective panel to the underside of the glove compartment.

The blower motor speed resistor is burned out. You can replace only the resistor but the resistor probably burned out because the blower motor is going bad. If you want to fix it for good, replace both the blower motor and blower motor speed resistor.
Defective blower motor or blower motor resistor pack.
Check to see if you are getting power to blower motor - if so replace blower motor If not check fuse, switch, resistor pack.
Check to see if you have 12 volts at the blower motor. If yes then the blower motor is bad. If no, then the resistor, relay, or fuse is bad.
To replace a blower motor on the resistor first you take off the nozzle and then you go into the motor through the nozzle and unlock it then repeat and oil and done.
Remove the wiring harness from the 1996 Chevy Cavalier blower motor. Remove the blower motor retaining bolts. Remove the blower motor fan. Reverse the process to install the new blower motor.
# Locate the blower resistor under the right-side of the instrument panel # Disconnect the electrical connector from the blower motor resistor # Remove the blower motor resistor mounting screws and remove the resistor from the housing # Installation is the reverse of removal
replace the blower motor switch
you need a new blower motor resistor with auto temp control
One can replace blower motor resistor on 2003 Nissan altima by removing the old using spanners and replacing it with a new one.
To change the blower motor resistor in a 2002 Nissan Maxima, locate the blower motor resistor under the glove compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle. There is a clip that is depressed and then the resistor will slide out. Remove both ends of the resistor and then replace with the new resistor.
To test the blower motor resistor, unplug the resistor connector. Each blower motor switch input terminal on the resistor must have continuity to the resistor output terminal, which is connected to the circuit going to the blower motor. If the blower motor resistor continuity does not check OK, replace the faulty resistor.You need a multimeter to test the resistor block and there should be continuity between all terminals.
