Default Replace blower motor resistor. And DIY or How To's?

I've traced an issue that looks to be a blower motor resistor module that's gone out. The fan speed basically is always blowing on high regardless of where the fan speed dial is turned to. Seems this is a pretty common issue.

If you drop the glove box door, you can find the module but it's behind a few things like a heater coolant line that I'm concerned about the best way to get access to it.

Anyone know of a good resource or any tips?

Thanks again.

Three screws on top inside of glove box. One nut on the bolt located at the right side of the glove box. One nut behind the glove box left of center (need child hands to get to that one). Remove the entire glove box assembly. Pull back the carpet and get an 8mm open end wrench. Two screws attached to the blower motor resistor module. Unplug and install in the reverse order.

Cheers.
