This will be a short DIY on how to replace your blown resistor on your Yaris, so that your fan works on all 4 speeds, not just 4!
Things you will need
1. Yaris:eek:
2. Philips screwdriver(a short one with a medium head)
3. 1* 87138 52030 (blower resistor part number) about $20 from Toyota

First locate your fan blower motor(mine was at the passenger side foot well)
Next move your attention toward the firewall or FRONT of the car. (The resistor sits about where you would imagine your right big toe would be if you were sitting in the seat:drool:)

You will see a black connector with 4 wires coming out the bottom of it(mines colours were black, green, white and blue) Push the connectors pin in and pull on the connector until it comes out(not the wires:eyebulge:)

Locate the 2 screws that hold the resistor to the housing. Take a SHORT philips screwdriver(no you cant use a long one as there is not much space) Rotate the screws anti-clockwise(looking at them from the bottom) until they come out

Get your new blower resistor and insert it the same way the old one came out.
Reinsert the 2 screws(make sure that they are tight as the last thing you want is for the resistor to vibrate around and for the air from the blower system to escape from around the resistor, you will also see a sponge around the resistor for insulation)
Plug the connector back into place
And Bobs your uncle:tongue:
