Default blower motor resistor, only blowing on HIGH

Hey guys, I did a search and found my answer on how to fix my problem where the blower in my truck is only blowing on HIGH. Problem is I just went down there and cant figure out which wires to disconnect to get the the resistor. I took a picture, if anyone can tell me what to disconnect and unscrew so I can get this fixed up tomorrow i would really appreciate it.

heres the picture, not sure if you can read it but part "A" is on the left and part "B" is on the right:

Also what part should i ask for when i call the dealer tomorrow??



Thanks in advance

yes blower resistor, you will notice the new one is a He!! of a lot beefer than the first, i think dodge should recall them, everybody that i know that has a dak from 99-04has had to replace it. and it works on high because when it goes out the resistor stays open all the way..
