First of all I am not a mechanic, I am just trying to save some money,  and I am replacing my blower fan and resistor.

I have watched some youtube vids and replaced the blower but I can not find the resistor. Can someone, please point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the vid  it is a totally different set up.
I have watched a lot of videos but none have the model and year that I have.

The resistor is built into the blower motor assembly.


This is straight from a parts listing for the blower motor with AC Delco. It doesn't matter what cab or anything, it's all the same.

Maybe this will help???

 

You can check this by accessing the panel behind the fuse box, and looking for the resistor module. Once you locate the resistor module, inspect the metal connector. If it needs to be replaced, you must cut the connector, splice it, and replace it with a new connector.

Thank you that explains a lot!
Nothing I found searching, or videos I watched  said that.

Ok, I asked the shop that was working on my truck and got an answer:
The resistor is not a part of the blower motor and is located behind the dash,  the book time is a four hour job and I was quoted $650.

 

No wonder there are zero vids for the repair and little info out there about it.

Can you elaborate on what the mechanic told you about it being behind the dash? There is absolutely nothing online that shows where this resistor is. I have a 2016. I also dont follow where Mikeyk’s picture is. I have looked all over and I don’t think that’s the same as my 2016. I replaced my blower motor and I still have the same issue, after 10 min or so the fan slows down then stops blowing much at all.
