Resistance

So the air system on the interior of my car stopped working. This is bad news for a Houstonian. Google told me what the problem was--the resistor--so I ordered the part and attempted the deceptively simple job. I took out the glove box and started dismantling the passenger side of the car. The picture below is only the beginning. 1.5 hours, 2 buckets of sweat, and infinite grumbling later...the thing was fixed. Naturally, it couldn't be a simple job since I had to fiddle with the actual blower after I made my initial repair. I looked pretty ragged in the end, but my greatest achievement was 0...broken nails! ha ha!

Anyone that would tackle that sort of job is an engineer at heart!
