I've not looked myself, but from what I've read, it's cake and not very expensive. I would think the big-box parts stores and NAPA, Car Quest, etc., should have one.

Under the glove box, you'll see the bottom of the blower motor and it's right there, screwed onto the bottom of the motor itself. Just ask for the resistor pack for the blower motor at any autozone and they should have it. It's like $30 or so. Once you see it, you'll be able to locate the old one immediately. It's about a 2 minute job.

I just looked on rockauto.com, under Heat and Air Conditioning, then blower motor resistor. they start at $43

72723205237789 - that's a 5% discount code for their site (that one is good until mid December), just type it in the "how you heard about us field"

I'm sorry, man. I must have been thinking of the ignition switch. Yeah, the resistor packs are a little pricey. Here's autozone's link http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...=362031_0_3330_

$50.99
