Go ahead and squeeze that. Pull this down. Give it a nice look. Make sure you don't see any funny colors. This looks great, so we'll set it aside. You're gonna find two mounting bolts on this. There's one right there and one on the far side towards the front. Remove them both. Grab the resistor. Pull it right out of here. Here it is, friends.
All right, friends. Now, it's gonna be time to install our brand new resistor. Something that I want you to pay attention to is this area right here where it's kind of beveled. That's gonna be facing towards the front of the vehicle. And take it, and slide it right on up and in here. Perfect. Now, we'll just start in both of our bolts, and then we'll snug them up. Go ahead and connect in your connector. There it is. All right. Now, you just need to test it.
