Here is the part for everyone asking www.amazon.com/Blower-Motor-Resistor-Kit-Harness/dp/B074HTW9KS/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2HHXAMPJIGK2J&keywords=2005+silverado+blower+motor+resistor&qid=1578538841&replacementKeywords=blower+motor+resistor&sprefix=2005+silverado+blower+mot%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-3&vehicle=2005-47-491------------&vehicleName=2005+Chevrolet+Silverado+1500

a bunch of videos abut this issue on youtube. This one, however, is very well made, accurate info,detailed......WELL DONE !!!

hint. place new connector on top of old connector after making sure the new connector matches the old. Use heavy duty siccers and cut both harnesses at a angle. about 20 or 25 degrees. The new harness wire will match up with the old and allow connections to be staggered without having a bunch of splices at one place.

Dude you saved the day! Thank you no else shows how to get the harness out and that’s the whole awkward part.

Thanks. On my Escort they put this in a very difficult position to manipulate, and so just getting the connector disconnected was stumping me. Very helpful video.

Very useful. Followed his directions and had it done in a half hour.

Cool thanks. Changed it on my 04 GMC Sierra. Baby has 310K miles and still kicking good!

Thank you for taking the time to explain the connector to the blower motor. You saved my a$$!

Thank you definitely helped. Like you said everything I searched was waste. You took care of what I needed and made it easier for me

Good job. As for splicing in a new connector for the resistor block, there is a fairly new product available. It is a crimpless butt splice connector that uses low temp solder preplaced inside a heat shrink insulator, so that all you need to do is place the wires inside the sleeve at the center (it's transparent) and hit it with your heat gun. It shrinks the tube and makes the solder joint all at the same time, for a really neat, strong, waterproof solder joint that will hold up much better than the old crimp connectors. They are also great for marine or motorcycle applications. I got mine on Amazon.

Your video was just what I needed. Mine did catch fire and toasted the connector and last couple of wires. When I got the kit, I could not tell anymore where the red and orange wire went. I also discovered that the kick panel is missing. Never knew as I bought it used. Thank you.

I changed my truck ac resistor from watching this video. Thanks a million...

Excellent video my friend...needed the info on replacing the harness!

Thanks for your vid. I just changed the resistor unit on my 2004 gmc sierra 5.3L. The harness connector was fine. A.c. works like a champ now. Thanks again. Subscribed!

Clear, concise and accurate information. My blower motor in now fixed, thanks

This was great i am a 49 year old lady never done this kind of stuff before and your video walked me thru it saved me money and time I hope you make more videos on how to fix a chev y truck1500 stuff is always messing up Michigan winters are hard. Thank you

Absolutely perfectly explained... Great video. Thanks.

My trucks 5 never worked. Gm said I waited to long for the recall. Finally failed last week, time for a new resistor... Thanks for the video!

Thanks! I’m having this issue with my 06 1500. I checked the fuse 1st and it wasn’t that. I’m waiting for my delivery and I’ll be good to go! I replaced the hvac harness a while ago...so that’s all good.

Very informative. This helped me diagnose and fix my issue. Thanks my guy

Thanks for the video I’ve got to change mine out on my 2003 Silverado. Didn’t even know where it was located. So thanks for that. I still have speed number 5 working but one through four are dead.

Just replaced mine . Thanks ! Wyr God bless

Thanks for the video it was useful for my 2003 Chevy Avalanche. You saved me bucks.

Good job. U saved yourself some money doing it on your own. u should have replaced the blower motor at the same time

thanks you helped me alot im getting on tomorrow for my truck great video

great video, and thanks for getting part number.

Thanks man! Helped me get my shit working again! Easy cause of you.

Very informative and easy to follow! Thanks for Posting!

Thank you yes my truck was the exact same way and your video did help I did end up taking the last bolt off so I could get more access

Helpful video, this intermittent issue with my Silverado’s blower motor was getting very annoying

To anyone out there with the same problem, the resistor I bought at advanced auto parts came with the harness and splices. It all cost 37 dollars

I did the permanent fix for it my blower motor turning off and on intermmitently on my 2003 Silverado. I bought an "add a circuit." I bought the 30 amp one. I pulled the 30 amp fuse out in the cab for the heater/AC hvac system and plugged in the add a circuit that has 2, 30 amp fuses in it with a pig tail coming out of it. I connected 8 ft of 14 gauge electrical wire to it with a butt connector. I ran the other end to the blower motor on the passenger side of the cab. I cut the pig tail off of the blower motor(the blower motor just has 2 wires coming out of it. A red and a black wire. I connected it to the red wire. The black wire on the blower motor I connected an eyelet to it and connected it to one of the glove box hinge screws which was a good ground. I cut the 8 ft piece of wire right above the transfer case shifter and installed a toggle switch from walmart. Now I can turn my blower motor off and on with that toggle switch. I only have high fan speed, but I don't care.

Thanks for this mine has been broke for yrs so easy to fix

Great video man

thank you so much for the help that was my problem

Need to do this on mine thanks for video

thanks man great job

I have a 04 silverado Crew cab that needs a new resistor. I believe the crew cab and extra cab with out vents in center console take the same part number. I don't see the part numbers in the description, couldn you tell me the part number that you used? Thanks

Thanks bro just replaced mine today

Hi I have a 2003 Avalanche with manual controls. What was the part numbers you've ordered? Thanks Great video!

To avoid the same problem caused by corroded crimped connections it's better to solder the wires.Good video.Thanks

I just did the exact same thing but my harness was fused to the resistor, and I used wire nuts instead, hopefully it lasts, right now everything works great!

Very good video. Wouldn’t have though to pick up a harness but sure as shit this one is melted on the ground too.

Can you send me the info for the harness on amazon that you bought. I have the same exact problem even though I replaced the motor altnernator and blower.

I looked under on my kick panel, don't see a single bolt, but the thing is on there hard as hell. Looks like the bolts are missing but how would it be held on so tight?

thank you berry much helps

this happened to me in the coldest week so far i wish it happened in the spring 😂

I replaced my resistor today worked before I went too work but when I came back it stopped again what do you guys think

my 05 silveraldo blower motor doesnt work at all when cold, comes on after the truck runs a while. could it be the resistor going bad?

What is the part number for the wire harnesses?

I've replaced mine twice. The last one I put in two years ago just died yesterday. But, it's 8 degrees out so....I'll be driving the SUV until we get a nice 30 degree day; might be next week, might not be until next month, or Feb, or March.

Do i have to use the new plug....mine looks fine

Thank you bro you help me out very much keep up with the video s

At 4:28 LUNCH IS ON ME PAL! Small flat head pushed up....pops off!💡🤛 With Blower still intacted. Installing the updated one. Tinning 3 wires,shrink wrap... The relay is built into the new one. Thanks again for the flat-head pop out.

My Silverado the fan speeds started dying out backwards. When I bought it 5 & 4 were out and just today 3 went out. Is the resistor the problem?

Thanks for sharing this info.:)

thanks for sharing

Can it cause like a mustie smell out of your vents as well my resister is still working and the blower to, but I'm getting like a mustie smell when I first start the truck. 2004 Silverado 5.3 V8, but in cab air filters were only an option in this model. So its not that and the blower motor is new. The resister looks old and may need to be changed did all that myself, but could use some help on this topic. Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for this video. I replaced my resistor 3 months ago but had it fail again just recently. Looking at harness pins it seems I need to also replace the harness. I've ordered one on Amazon. One question I have for you or this group: In the attached pic what is the component that sits to the left of the resistor (over the floor hump)? it has a red plastic clip harness feeding into it from below. For orientation, the "BR" to the right is the blower resistor harness. It makes a knocking sound. I know the previous owner had a satellite radio system is there a chance it has something to do with that? Thanks

Great video, but the smaller bolts holding on to the resistor are 7/32nds SAE, not 5.5 metric.

You can also choose to solder those wires together that why you actually eliminate wire problems.

Hi frost7092, before you replaced both connector and blower resistor. Where either melted . My 2/3 speed. This is my second replacement

If you grab the bottom of blower motor and turn towards the steering wheel, it comes rite out. Much easier getting little plug out.

Did you unplug the battery before replacing this?

Did you find out why it is melted. Just asking, this will be my 2nd replacement of both pieces. Did you end up changing your ac control panel

From what I found out there was a recall. I gave the same problem on my 05 gmc seirra

This is very helpful. I have this similar issue with my 2005 Tahoe. The wiring harness is burned/melted and the the resistor needs to be replaced. What are the part numbers you used for the wiring replacement and the resistor?

Very good video. My truck does kind of the same bt 5 it shuts off. Why would that be?

If I keep blowing fuses could this be my problem

Thanks for the great vid! The screwdriver tip was awesome! But when I was done, I only had speeds one thru four. Anyone know why? (Still waaaaaaay better than none).

What happens if your 5 stops working but all the others are now ok?

My truck is a 04 Tahoe. As soon as I connect it, the blower will blast on a constant High. Even while the truck is off , it stays on. So I have to connect and disconnect it as need. Any advice?

Have replaced the resistor twice and it keeps going out is it the blower motor the problem

What did you use to splice the wires together? Wondering where I can find that. Thanks.

I thought ours went out on our 07 jimmy but I wiggled the 2 resistor wires and it started working again..but when I installed the cover it bumped the wires and made it stop working...hmmm

This but I'm not sure if someone already addressed this but this but I'm doing it now I ordered a Amazon thing and it came with six wires and not seven that are on my truck anybody got any ideas

What's the part number

GM did recall this. Look it up

I cant et my connector to release even when i lift tge carch..suggestions?

Hey thanks for the video! After you changed it you did not have any more problems with it? I just changed it mine and im concerned it will happen again!?? Thank you

I didn’t replace the harness and have gone through two parts in a year. The parts aren’t expensive it’s the hassle replacing it. I didn’t realize it was just the actual harness I thought the wires needed to be kept longer, I guess. I used one of the harnesses I didn’t use prior. Im when the part arrives it’ll work.

2002 chevy Silverado 2500 HD HVAC fuse in fuse box under the hood getting hot and melting? Can only run fan on 1 and 2 speed. 3,4,5 will cause fuse to get hot. ??? Any thoughts?

Can you help me. On hot mode I have hot air on the passenger side and cool air on drive side. What is the problem. Silverado 2005.

I have all 07 classic cat eye Silverado original harnessed original blower motor original blower motor relay I'm waiting for it to go

Can I use a Bic lighter to shrink the crimps?

Easy listening....

Question ... Do you have a problem starting the truck after 4 or 5 days if you don't used it ....??

In case anyone still has problems it can be that the blower motor has seized up so if you have time check that to so you don't melt your brand new harness

Same happened to me in my jeep but when I replaced the resistor and the harness I was told to replace the blower motor as well because the reason why the harness melted was due to the blower motor because as it gets older and worn out it draws more amperage and melts the wires.

need to see the harness hook up colors to the black and white for an extended time a still picture

For some reason, speed 5 doesn’t work. Blower motor and resister was replaced also. Just not sure why spend 5 doesn’t work.

They did recall it!

You rock

Hey bud, if you could send me the part number off amazon please and thank you! Btw awesome video and will definitely be using it to do this install

you can't be that you got to solder it or it won't work for long

2:04 lmao

Why didn't you just remove the other two screws on the cover and get it out of the way instead of always having to pull it down? Seems like a PITA to keep trying to get it out of the way and you didn't show getting the two resistor screws out.

Probably would have been easier to cut just the burned wires in the connector and crimp on new connectors

replace yo filters for better airflow.

My 02 had an additional cover over the blower motor, making it impossible to pull connector on blower without removing. In process, protruding circuit boards are very fragile from all the heat-cool cycling, broke it... Futzing idiots who decided to add the motor cover for no reason!
