blower motor resistor

OK...I read that it only take 15 minutes to replace the resistor module on my 2002 Dakota SLT maybe less than that once you remove the cowling and blower motor to find out what the cause of the motor not working. I am still sore and in 100 degrees plus and hi humidity plus the appropriate words (Must have taken two hours to remove 7 screws)....The connectors have a special locking tab that was difficult to remove upside down....can barely get two hands on it.....the real problem is that there is no room to get a wrench or socket or nut driver on two screws.... the motor resistor was the problem, $18.57) and the install went faster than I expected. FYI...my relacement resistor module had extra tabs around the mounting holes and if you don't remove them you will never get the d..n thing mounted (now how do you think I found this out?) but, you cannot live w/o AC in Phoenix.

2000 Dakota Quad Cab Sport Blower Motor resistor
I have finally located and replaced the resistor.I removed the cowl grillework under the hood inserted a mirror in the opening and found the resistor mounted there with two 5/16" screws.I removed the screws(not an easy task)pulled the resistor out.Gently tug on the wiring harness to get some slack push tab in on plug and remove resistor from harness.
