Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the blower motor resistor in a 2000 Chevy Cavalier. You'll need a 1/4 inch socket wrench, an extension, a swivel, a 7/32 inch socket, as well as a new blower motor resistor from 1A Auto.

To get to the blower motor resistor, you'll need to first remove the blower motor. You'll find that in the passenger compartment footwell right below the glovebox. There are three 7/32 screws that hold that in. Go ahead and use a socket and socket wrench and remove those three screws. I'll fast-forward as I do that.

Find the connector there, pull up on the tab, and pull the connector out. Pull up on the tab for the blower motor resistor connector and pull that off. There are two more 7/32 screws that hold that blower motor resistor in place. You're going to need to use an extension with your swivel and your short 7/32 socket to get to those. I'll go ahead and fast-forward as I take those out.

Once you've got those two screws out, go ahead and pull the blower motor resistor out. Here's a side by side of the old part and the new part from 1A Auto.

Install the new resistor by placing it up and into the blower fan compartment and reinstalling your two 7/32 screws. I'm going to go ahead and fast-forward as I put those in and tighten them back up.

With the blower motor resistor plugged back in, you can plug in your fan motor and stick that back up inside. Reinstall the three 7/32 screws that hold that in place. I'll go ahead and fast-forward as I do that.
