If you remove the glove box, you should find it. It’s down there.

There’s also a blower motor resistor down there that could be a culprit.

The resistor is over $300 at the dealer. It’s even expensive at [rockauto.com](http://rockauto.com) at $282. The blower motor itself is cheaper than the resistor.

On a positive note, it looks easy to replace the blower motor or the blower motor resistor.
