Chrysler Repair: 98 Plymouth Breeze Blower Resistor, blower motor resistor, metal nuts


Question
Found conflicting answers to where I would find the blower motor resistor on a 98 Breeze.  And how would you replace it?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Vicki,
The latest manual I have for the Breeze is from '96 but I would believe it applies to your car. The manual says that it is on the lower right side of the heater housing, mounted such that the resistors are in the air outlet stream of the blower so as to keep them cool. Look for the wire from the blower housing nearby and it will lead you to the resistor block. To access it you would want to remove the right underpanel silencer/duct which will otherwise block your view. There is a push-in fastener for that at the right far end of the silencer (if it has a round center button, pry out gently on the button to release the fastene); (alternatively you may find instead 4 fasteners all facing up from underneath, two screws on the front, two sheet metal nuts on the rear; I can't be sure of this detail); and then manuever the entire part off the duct it attaches to at the center floor distribution duct. The block is held in place by a couple of screws, so first pull the plug and then remove screws and drop it down out of the heater housing.
Please let me know if this doesn't prove correct.
