Anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to replace the blower motor resistor on 2003 Olds Intrigue? I have located in behind the blower motor, but not sure if I need to remove other parts to get to the screws.

Thanks
Eric

This is from my 1999 Intrigue GM service manual: Should be the same

Blower Motor Resistor Replacement:
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the right side instrument panel insulator. (should be 3 black plastic tabs that push into the panel.
3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the blower motor resistor.
4. Disconnect the blower motor resistor electrical connector from the blower motor.
5. Loosen, do not remove, both forward screws.
The blower motor resistor opening is slotted as access is extremely limited.
6. remove the rearward screw.
7. Remove the blower motor resistor.

Installation Procedure:
1. Install the blower motor resistor.
NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
2. Install the rearward screw.
Tighten
Tighten the rearward screw to 1.5 N-m. (13 lbin).
3. Install both forward screws. (I assume the ones that are loosened but
not removed?)
Tighten
Tighten the forward screws to 1.5 N-m. (13 lb in).
4. Connect the electrical connector to the blower motor.
5. Connect the electrical connector to the blower motor resistor.
6. Install the right side instrument panel insulator.
7. Connect the battery negative cable.

Thats all they have on it. Appears its important not to remove, only back off the two screws. I don't read any other concerns other than not a lot of room.

Good Luck. Hopes this helps
