Have a question about the attachment of the blower motor resistor. After looking under the dash, it seems that I have the resistor that is called the 'module' on advanceautoparts.com. The part that puzzles me is how it is held in/on. It appears to be held on with what look like rivets. there are no bolt heads, it doesn't look like any type of screw heads either. I'm concerned about how the new one is held on. I haven't gone to the parts store yet to buy the part, but am just wondering if anyone else has run into this and what may have been the resolution.

Thanks

 

It's held in by 3 5.5mm screws I believe, I have yet to install mine one of these days lol it's kind of in a tight spot, the two visible screws are easy to get off then one of the back ones, the one on the right which you can barely see is a little harder, with that one you just have to loosen it and the piece will just slide out from under the screw then you just pull it out and put In your new one

 

This explains it better than me lol :p

Thanks I have to replace it one my 2001...

 

I'll probably replace mine today if it comes in the mail I ordered one on eBay, dorman brand I believe lol

 

I saw that resistor online, but it is not the one in my car. The link I posted shows the one under my dash, what they call a 'module'. I'm not sure why there are two different resistors for the car, but they aren't even close to being similar. There are no bolts/screws. Only what look like rivets and I'm hesitant to get them out with knowing what the correct way to put it back in is.

 

Hmm not sure then....

 

Mine sure did get here today
Hopefully I finish before it rains

 

Are you looking at the correct thing? link to the part? I have NEVER seen a blower motor resistor on a GM that wasn't held in by 5.5mm screws.

 

im using a 7/32 socket, my bad lol :p
