    All of a sudden, my blower motor will not turn off. The only way I can do it is to disconnect the battery. Obviously, this isn't a viable long term solution. I have to assume this is a wiring problem as it has to get power to run. TIA

    How in the hell do you get to it without removing the dashboard?

    Folded the passenger seat flat and basically laid on my back with my head in the footwell, under the dash. I think that I had to pull a trim panel off (2 fasteners), and then you can see the resistor. You have to unplug a harness to the motor, then you've got three screws to tackle. That will free the resistor. It took some time, as those screws were not easily accessible. 1/4" ratchet with some extensions and knuckles made the job possible.

    Well, I got the sucker out of there. Made life easier to remove the blower motor too. Now I'm off to AZ to get a new one and see if that works. Still not sure how I'm gonna get that one hidden bolt back in there. I hate flying blind.
