Here's why I can't give you the exact location:
* Model year variations: Even within the same model, components can be positioned differently across different production years.
* Trim level differences: A base model Impala might have a different resistor placement than a higher trim level with more features.
* Automatic vs. manual climate control: The location of the resistor can vary based on the type of climate control system.
Here's how to find it yourself:
1. Consult your owner's manual: The most reliable source of information for your specific vehicle is your owner's manual. It often includes a diagram of the blower motor and resistor location.
2. Use an online service manual: Websites like AllDataDIY or Chilton offer service manuals for specific vehicle models. These manuals provide detailed information on component locations, repair procedures, and wiring diagrams.
3. Search online forums: Many online automotive forums have discussions about specific models and components. Searching for your specific model year and "blower motor resistor location" might lead you to a solution.
4. Visual inspection: The resistor is often located near the blower motor itself, typically behind the glove box or under the dashboard. Check for a small, rectangular box with wires connected to it.
Important: Before working on your car's electrical system, disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shock.
