3. Disconnect the rear HVAC wire harness connector for the blower motor resistor from the resistor connector receptacle.
4. Remove the two screws that secure the blower motor resistor to the rear heater-A/C unit housing.
5. Remove the blower motor resistor from the rear heater-A/C unit housing.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Do not operate the blower motor with the blower motor resistor removed from the circuit. Failure to take this precaution can result in vehicle damage.

1. Position the blower motor resistor into the rear heater-A/C unit housing.
2. Install and tighten the two screws that secure the blower motor resistor to the rear heater-A/C unit housing. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the rear HVAC wire harness connector for the blower motor resistor to the resistor connector receptacle.
4. Reinstall the right quarter trim panel and right D-pillar trim panel onto the quarter inner panel.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
