If you are talking about the Aux fan that works with the A/c, this is what I did:

1. I opened and removed the front grille
2. Spomehow mamanged to cut the three wire joint hear the old resistor, and used screw jacks to add a 10 foot 2 wire cable to it.
3. Ran all along the headlight area to near the air filter housing in the engine compartment.
4. Use a Bosch resistor $20 from www.partsbin.com, or www.pelicanparts.com, or $25 from the dealer, and screwed it on near the housing bolt (rubber mounted hosuing bolt)
5. Used spade terminals and connected the wires to the resistor.
6. Now whenever it needs replacing, I just need to open the hood and it is changed,

I hope this helps.

Sam
