blower motor resistor

[cheyenne402]

I have a 2000 Silverado---Where is the blower motor resistor located and how do you replace it?

Its left of the blower motor, Bolted to the HVAC case, Check the harness for melted/burned terminals, If it is get a "pigtail" from GM & splice it in.

There is an extended warranty issued by gm on these trucks. There's a good chance you could get a new resistor and pigtail installed by gm at no charge.

I just had that done on an '03, It's only covered on trucks under 150,000 miles or in service 10 years or less, which-ever comes first. I made it by about a half of a month. Otherwise, I think the bill would have been around $160.00.

The part is around $30 and it takes about 5 minutes to change. Although if I would have known about this warranty 3 years ago when I did this on my 03 I would have let them do it.

As they said it is in the air duct under the glove compartment by the blower motor. The resistor is actually in the air way, remove the cover, then remove the two screws holding it in as shown above. And be sure to check for burned/melted terminals or you will likely burn it up quickly again from excess resistance.

The resistor is around thirty dollars but the pigtail is around 75 dollars. Then add on the labor time.

Here is a couple pics of a bad one on my truck 2005 silverado.

i have a 2003 silverado, and was wondering by replacing the resister, would all the functions on my heater control such as the 1 2 3 4 5 work?, right now only 4 and 5 work the heater works great, on 4 and 5, just nothing not a noise or nothing on 1 2 and 3, any help on this would be great thanks

Cured mine. I was lucky enough to have it covered under the recall notice (10 years or 150,000 miles, made it by 2 months!) Most dealerships have the parts in stock because of it being such a wide spread problem. With labor it will run you about $160.00. LMC also carries the resistor and matching wiring pig-tail (Probably a Taiwan nock-off) but its a fairly straight-forward plug-and-play deal. Good luck!

Is this something a dealer has to do? Or can i do this? And is the resistor in the same spot on a 2003 as they are on the older 99hitman to 2002the silverado? Thanks again for the help

Real glad you guys were discussing this. I just picked up an 05 Tahoe & #5 is out but she's got 141k on the ticker. I'll take it in & see if they will do it under recall. THANKS a bunch!!
