I want to stay here for an hour and click on the upvote button continuously for all the money & time you just saved me. Perfect diagnosis (I only had fan speed 5) and the part fit like a champ and I've got all 5 fan speeds again. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Awesome! Glad it helped! That's much appreciated.

Just completed it. Worked like a champ. Thanks for the simple, straightforward video!! (2003 Sierra) Note: there is a mounting plate on my particular model that covered the resistor unit. On mine, I had to discard it but the Duralast replacement part is designed to fit without that mounting plate.

Love the close up shots. Most videos aren’t this close. People forget we’re watching on iPad/iPhone. Excellent job!

Thanks so much for the video. Changed mine out yesterday, 2003 GMC Sierra. I came back from vacation after 3weeks and drove to the store and could smell something like burning electrical. I came out of the store and everything quit, or at least I thought it did. I checked the fuse and it was ok. I did have power to the unit and the ac lights would come on but no fan. After watching your video I suspected it was the resistor because about a year ago I lost the #5 speed on the fan. Ordered the part from your link, installed it last night and everything works great now. Man I love KZread!! Have a Great Summer! Thanks Again!

Thank you for this video, My 4 & 5 speed was not working. I bought the kit, swapped it out now it’s running perfectly.

Nice video. Helped me lots. Things to consider but please remember that my left arm is only about 70%. The passenger side seat rail digs into your side as you lay in the floor board. You really have to get your head towards the firewall to see the screws that hold the shroud. The plug that is inserted into the fan is the hardest part because you can't really see how it can be released. I had to use pliers. It was easier to bolt on the new unit and even plug in the fan wire. The best thing is that it works!!

Seems easy enough. Need to order one for my dad's Sierra. Only at speed 4 and 5 are working. So this should help. Had to switch out the blower motor.

This was very helpful. Thanks for being specific on where the bolts were and what size they were!

The kit to replace the fan motor, resistor, and connector is only 82 bucks at Rock Auto. Its also OEM, not cheap junk like this. Even the OEM part shown in the video is only 33 bucks on rock auto. GM recommends you replace the motor, resistor, and connecter all at the same time, because the OEM motor draws too much power, causing the resistor to overheat and fail. the replacement kit solves the problem which causes the failure. I opted to replace all 3 at once using the kit.

2006 Chevy Trailblazer. Mine would not work on fan speed 5, so I replaced this resistor a month ago and all was well. Today it stopped blowing intermittently as I clicked through the speeds. By the time I got to work, nine were working. I am going to replace the control unit entirely, as I noticed the lights were going out on it, so I suspect this is the problem. If not, I will replace the resistor again. The one I bought from Amazon had hit and miss reviews. The next (if needed) will come from rock auto.

Question...my 06 GMC truck. Melted the fan speed dial a few years ago. This time. 1/2/3 quit working and now 4/5 speeds have quit too. Last time when the fan speed dial was replaced should the resistor module been replaced too (is that what causes the fan dial to melt?) Reason I ask is...I assume I need to replace the speed fan switch again but should I switch out the resistor too?

Great vid thanks!

On the MY03 2500 Silverado, there are different resistors, depending on Manual/Automatic temperature control and also presence of a front compartment center console.

Went from 1-4 working to absolutely none working. Perfect timing because it went out right at the hottest time of the year let’s go

My resister did burn up on my 2003 chevy silverado. Only fan speed 4 out of 5 was working. I replaced it and 1,2,3 and 4 now work but 5 still does not. Also the green stick circuit board looking thing that comes out got really hot when I connected it. I was thinking since it sticks up into the air vent, that it what cools it. And because it was on and but the fan wasn't blowing, that is what made my old one burn up. Is that the case or should it not hot?

You can see the housing for it with no problem once you know where to look. When I pulled mine out I noticed that there was some burnt/melted wiring evidence on the wiring harness for the resister and upon removing the old part from the harness I saw that the wiring harness was melted significantly on the inside where the pins went into it..specifically the pins that controlled the fan speeds that were not functioning. I bought a new wiring harness from O'rielly's Auto Parts and cut the old one out. it was easy to replace just by splicing in the new harness based on the old wires orientation. Just refer to the old harness and hook up the same way. I replaced the resister unit as well just out of caution as I figured it was likely an OEM part and bound to fail sooner than later anyway. After replacing the parts the switch that controls the fan speed works flawlessly on all speeds. Complete repair was less than a hundred bucks. Far less than having it done elsewhere I'm sure.
