On the passenger side in the footwell, under the glove box there is a panel held in by expansion clips. Release the clips, and take down the panel. The resistor is nearest the firewall, and closest to the center console. You will need a small socket wrench, as a driver won't be able to get clearance in the space. Find the appropriate sized socket, and remove the screws/bolts. Unclip the wiring harness. The resistor should drop right down.
Step-by-step:
Just an update on what I found while replacing it on my 04' Grand Prix GT2.Disconnect the battery as a just in case and then do the following:1. Pull out expansion clips(3 of them) below the glove box on the passenger side. Disconnect floor light and set panel to the side.2. Locate resistor. All the way in back by the firewall and slightly to the left.3. Disconnect cables from resistor(I just pushed mine up behind some other cables for the blower to get it out of the way)4. Unscrew resistor as said before or, in my case, take a chisel and snap off the plastic melt tips that were initially installed holding the resistor in place. At that point the resistor will fall right down.5. Place the new resistor in place, screw back in. Plug in cable, put panel/foot light back in position.
Take it to a repair shop.
Resistor is located behind the blower motor assembly.
The blower motor speed resistor is burned out. You can replace only the resistor but the resistor probably burned out because the blower motor is going bad. If you want to fix it for good, replace both the blower motor and blower motor speed resistor.
Check to see if you are getting power to blower motor - if so replace blower motor If not check fuse, switch, resistor pack.
the resistor is gonna be right off the blower motor attached to the blower motor by a wire harness should be by the heater core
Check to see if you have 12 volts at the blower motor. If yes then the blower motor is bad. If no, then the resistor, relay, or fuse is bad.

Please email me a photo of where the blower motor resistor is and how to change it. Thanks, Michael. By the way I want it for a 2000 Sunfire not a Grand Am.
Replace the blower motor resistor block. It is located under the dash on the passenger side.
To replace a blower motor on the resistor first you take off the nozzle and then you go into the motor through the nozzle and unlock it then repeat and oil and done.
# Locate the blower resistor under the right-side of the instrument panel # Disconnect the electrical connector from the blower motor resistor # Remove the blower motor resistor mounting screws and remove the resistor from the housing # Installation is the reverse of removal
Blown fuse, bad blower motor switch, blower motor itself, or a defective blower motor resistor pack.
