Okay, friends, to get started on our Blower Motor Resistor, let's go ahead and open up our glove box, squeeze in on the sides that way there these tabs release. Looking behind here, you're gonna be able to see your blower motor resistor. You can either try to access this right through up here or, of course, you can try to come underneath the dash, which is pretty easy as well. I'm just gonna squeeze on the little tab. I'll draw this off of here, and now I'll show you what tab I'm talking about. Right here where my index finger is the tab, you squeeze that and pull it away, and it releases. Now following your blower motor resistor pigtail, you wanna follow those wires to where you feel as though they kind of secure onto the blower motor box. We need to get the wiring so it's disconnected from that. I'm just gonna use this little forky tool, get in under there, and separate the two. Now, I'm just gonna feel that wiring until it leads to where the blower motor pigtail is. I'm gonna squeeze the little tab, just like I did on the resistor, and pull that wire down as well. You're gonna notice it's a great connector.
At this point, we can bring the wiring right up here and we can get to work on it. All right, friends, to get started on this wiring harness, what we need to do is get rid of any tape that's holding all the wires together here. Essentially, what we wanna be able to do is separate the wires going up the line here so we have plenty of slack with everything. Let's get all that tape right off of there. The next thing we need to do is analyze the wiring to see if there's any areas that are damaged. If they are, then that's an area that, of course, we would wanna cut off down towards this. These all look really good. So, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cut one wire right here. We'll set those aside for now. And now we'll remove the outer lining. Give the wires a little twist. And now if you hold this up to your other wires, the next thing we wanna do is continue on by trimming up the line. So, I'm gonna bring this one so it ends a little bit higher than the other one. The reason for that is so that when we're putting on our connectors, they're not all in one big bubble. They'll be kind of expanded out down the line.
Now that we have the wires coming from the vehicle all done, we wanna make sure that we have the wires for the blower motor pigtail done as well. Something that we wanna pay attention to before we do any cutting is the direction of the pigtail itself. As you can tell, these are very opposite. If I was to cut the wires in this direction and then mount them up onto here, there's gonna be an issue. Let's hold them so they're in the same exact direction, and then look at the wires like this. At this point, you can tell exactly how you wanna cut the new wiring harness as well. Something that I like to mention though is I'm not gonna cut it all the way down here and just get rid of all this wiring, but I'm also not gonna use all of the wiring because as you can tell, they gave us a whole lot of extra wiring. Let's come about halfway up, but make sure that you keep all the wires in their corresponding spots. And then we'll just kind of line these up and we're gonna trim them along the same line as the original resistor. Let's make our first trim on the first wire right here, and then we'll move further up for the last wire.
Now that we've made the first cut, we wanna continue on with the second cut, and the third, and forth. As you can tell, we went a little longer each time. Let's try to do the same approximately on the new wiring harness as well. Now let's remove the outer sheathing on all of these. Now that we have all the wires cut in the corresponding lengths, let's start connecting them in. Pay attention to where each wire went. You can tell that the black with the white tracer was the shorter of the wires. Continuing on, you had the gray with the black, the purple with the orange, and then the longest wire that we have on ours is gonna go to the green with the white. Okay, friends, real quick, I wanted to let you know that we're gonna be using this type of connection to put our wires together. Some people would choose to use solder, which is fine as well. This is just a crimp connector, so we're gonna put one side of the wires in one side, crimp it down, the other side, and this side, crimp it down. It's always a good idea to try to use a little bit of heat shrink if you have access to some. A lot of times people don't. And the good news, really this is underneath the dash, so there really isn't very many possibilities you're gonna get water underneath here. So you don't really have to worry about it being waterproof. If you don't have access to the heat shrink, just go ahead and tape it up.
To put our connectors on, we wanna make sure that you twist up the end of the wires. This is gonna be very important to make sure they don't fray. Any frayed wires could potentially mean loss of voltage going into where it's supposed to. I'm just gonna go ahead and crimp this down. You wanna be very careful not to go to the very edge of it. We'll give that a nice squeeze, give it a nice tug. If it feels like it can move around, you need to crimp it down a little further. Let's do the same to all the rest of these wires. If you have any heat shrink, slide it on your wires now.
Okay. So now that we have all the wires done up nice, we're gonna take a look at our old resistor. And you can tell which wire went where, so this is gonna help you out. The wire that's gonna be the shortest on our new pigtail is gonna be the one that goes to the black and white wire. So let's go ahead and connect that in now. Make sure your wire is completely pressed in. Give it a nice tug. Make sure it's completely secure. Move down the line, move to the next longest wire. Our next wire for us, as you can tell, is gonna be the gray with the brown tracer. Moving along, our next wire is gonna be the purple. And lastly, our green wire. At this point, we should be able to pull on our wiring harness and all the wires should be approximately the correct length. This looks amazing. Let's go ahead and wrap this up with some electrical tape. There we are. Let's get this back in. Let's go ahead and reconnect our blower motor pigtail. Now let's resecure that wiring into the blower motor box. There we are. Reconnect the blower motor resistor. Let's close the glove box. Now you would just wanna test your blower motor on all speeds.
