Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the blower motor resistor on this 2004 Volkswagen Jetta and it's the same part and similar process on these Jettas from 1999 to 2008 and the items you'll need for this are a new blower motor resistor from 1AAuto.com, a 6mm socket and ratchet and a flat blade screwdriver.
Underneath your glove box, you'll see this foam panel. Just pull it down and around that clip. Then, push the tabs on either side of this harness and just pull it free. Then remove this 6mm bolt right here and this 6mm bolt right here. We'll just fast forward as Don does that. Now the resistor will just pull down and out.
On the left is the old blower motor resistor. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Now just remove this clip with a flat blade screwdriver and transfer it over to your new blower motor resistor. Now push the resistor back up into place and replace those two 6mm bolts. Reconnect the harness and then just push this foam back up and over that clip. Then just pop it in and you're all set.

If AC is not blowing air, check this part and the blower motor.
You may need this instead or in addition to blower motor itself. I ordered a new blower motor and only when took old one out discovered it was actually this part that had burnt out, so then had to order this part. Online video made it super simple to replace both this part and the blower motor.

Couldn't get the cable off the old part. I have ordered a pigtail so I can replace both.

The part arrived on time and fit perfectly. The Utube video made it very easy for me to do the repair myself. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that is having problems with their blower motor
