Well does the motor work at all? The part is around $30 and it's located behind your glove box. It'll take about 20 minutes or less to install

NOOOOO its your resistor which is a 20 dollar dealer part, located at passengers feet, take out two screws unhook harness put in new resistor screws etc ur done 5 min job....I think the reason that mine went out is because water comes in from the ac drain

ah i gotcha forgot about factory warranty's ask them what was "wired wrong" still think its Ur resistor but the 25 year olds at the dealer think they know to much... so they say its "wiring" just a guess
