2003 Sable Blower Resistor
Hello,
We just bought a 2003 Sable. The car is in great shape and only 40K miles.
The only issue is the blower on the AC/Heater. It only blows on high speed.
I have done some research on this, and found that these Sables have an issue with water getting into the motor and the resistor, causing problems.
I am trying to replace the resistor. Not being a very experienced mechanic I had problems locating it, but I seem to have found it under the glove box.
I put up a picture of it here:

The problem I have having now is getting it out. I disconnected the cables and put a ratchet on the 2 bolts. But the won't come out. They turn, but never seem to come out.
Seriously, I turned one for 10 minutes and it is the same as before. I know the bolt is turning but nothing happens.
Without laughing at me, can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Thank you, I will try that in the morning.

Other comments in other threads lead me to believe that there could be further problems if the water leak is still there, but I think this car has been corrected already. But I will keep an eye on it and see what happens.
Thanks again,
Rod
