Remove them and the blower will literally fall into your hands. You will see a round plastic shape, may be 6-7" in diameter, with 3 screws in a bolt pattern (in a circle, equidistant). Now (be careful not to twist your neck/back) look under the duct. there a small harness with 2 connector on it, still blocking the way. Unscrew 2 (10mm socket) bolts that hold a strip of galvanized steel in front of the duct. It is inserted into the duct from underneath.

Note that resistors are different depending on year/make - but also depending on auto vs manual AC controls, be aware of that. Piece of cake now that you know where it is. A time might come when you need to replace it. In my Kia the resistor is not really a resistor but a power transistor assy. The resistor is what controls the speed of the fan. It is partially submerged into the path of air - which cools it. Things of interest: "blower resistor" - bright orange part on top of the duct. the black air duct will reveal itself in the area behind glove compartment. You might want to apply more tug to one side then the next, wiggle it a bit.īut the compartment should come out rather easily. pull it up/slightly toward rear of the car, strongly but carefully. open the (pass side) glove compartment about 1/4 way push passenger seat all the way back, out of the way Done a little researching and poking around the car and it was my blower. I have an 09 Kia Rio LX and was having the same problem: I could hear the compressor click on, but nothing was coming out of the vents, not heat nor air. Seeing this post is old, hopefully your problem is fixed.
