Picked this up at my local advanced store. This product connected into the factory plugs great and works great. Fixed my problem of 4, and 5 not working on the control knob for the air/heat. Found the walkthrough on how to install it on [@]. Great site for Trailblazer/Envoy owners!

I replaced the blower motor resistor on my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. #4 on my blower speed dial wasn't working. I replaced the first one and everything worked fine, #4 started working again, then the next day, it blew. I went through three of them in the matter of a week. I took my car in to a shop and they didn't find anything wrong with the system other than the blown resistor pack. What the heck people. I expect more from Advance. This is junk. Don't buy it.

Comments about BWD Blower Motor Resistor:
Product is better quality than OEM. Features epoxy-sealed electronics that the OEM product did not. I imagine this is why so many OEM parts fail.

Comments about BWD Blower Motor Resistor:
Lost fan blower speeds 1-4. Online research pointed me to this part. This Advanced Auto Part looks to be much more robust than the original OEM part and is resonably priced.
Took 20 minutes to change.
Tools needed:
Flashlight
7MM Nut Driver
Small Standard Screwdriver
7/32 Nut Driver
1.) Remove plastic kick plate under glove box, 2 screws, with 7mm nut driver
2.) locate blower, remove 2 ea 7/32 screws holding resistor pack on and unclip harness.
3.)Empty/Open glove box and push up wire latch stop in the back so that it drop down and you can get access to the blower connector behind box.
4.) Use the standard screwdriver to release the plug clip of the wiring harness from motor, resistor should now be out and completely loose.
5.) Reverse process to install new one.

Comments about BWD Blower Motor Resistor:
The factory resistor burned the #4 setting when it was two years old. I installed one of these and within a week the new one burned out the #4 setting. Replaced that one and the second unit did the same thing. Like the title says this is garbage.

Q:
Blower on our 2004 EnvoyXL was working randomly and only when fan was set on lower speed when car was started. Now cannot get it to come on at all. Is it the blower motor resistor that causes this?Asked on 12/3/2011 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
If it is your manual HVAC system, then the blower motor resistor pack is defective or the blower motor itself is bad. If it is the Automatic digital HVAC, then blower motor control module is defective or the blower motor itself is bad.Answered on 12/3/2011 by Dennis from AAP

I have an 2006 GMC XL Envoy 6cyl, The fan speeds 4 and 5 do not work most of the time , only if I switch back and forth several times does 4 or 5 work but it does not last long and thay stop working again.

passenger side of the dash under the glovebox. a couple of bolts/screws are holding it in. If your a/c only works on high this is what should fix your problem a blower motor isn't necessarily what you need.Answered on 7/30/2010 by Dusty from Pinellas County Florida
