It's in the blower housing in the right rear of the engine compartment. It's held in by a couple screws. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hi,

I noticed we haven't heard from you for a couple of days. Has any progress been made? As far as the blower motor fan only working on high, that is a very good indication the resister is bad. I found a pic of the location of the resistor. It is under the hood on the passenger side. It is mounted at the bottom of the blower motor which is mounted to the firewall. See the attached pic. I circled it in the pic. There is a release on the plug. Make sure to release it before pulling on it. Also, check the condition of the plug that plugs into the resistor. Make sure it isn't rusted or corroded. If you have a weak connection, chances are it will cause the same problem to happen.

I hope this helps.

Take care,
Joe
