The blower motor is a brush-less type, with a circuit board. It will not go to the high setting, does not move enough air to cool you on a hot day. I bought a blower motor resistor (since then I have also heard it called a blower motor control module). I cannot find where is goes. Does a brush-less motor even have one?

Hello, I am Danny.

You asked for the location of the blower motor control. It is located behind the right hand rear quarter trim panel and I have attached a picture. I have also attached a list of components needed to be removed to gain access. Hope this helps and feel free to ask questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

I forgot to state that the front blower motor is where the problem lies. Rear is blowing fine. Does the front one have one?

I have had to blower motor out several times. And I cannot see in your picture where the blower motor resistor is located. I have spent a lot of time under there looking.
