Hi:
The blower motor is under the dash on the passanger side. You will need to remove the lower section of the dash to replace it. As far as the resister, it's located under the hood on the firewall (passanger side). It's about 4 inches below the hood level and has a plug with (aprox 6 or 8) wires going to it. NOTE: Pay attention to the plug when you remove it. If there has been a large amp draw on the system (that may have caused the resister to go bad) the plug may show signs of overheating (melted) If that is the case, I recommend replacing the motor as well as the resister, and rewire or replace the plug.
