Heater amplifier

I'm looking to buy a heater amplifier but don't know which one it is. is this it?




the other day I looked underneath the gloves box and realized one of wire was disconnected.. and i looked further and realized i am missing this slot thing where its connected right underneath the blower.. i bought a blower thinking it was the blower but no.. im missing amplifier. btw i do have auto climate control. thanks all.

The item in the photo looks about right. But the problem with a photo is that the fan control amplifier for the auto climate control and the resistor for the manual climate control look almost identical. Make sure you get the correct one.

When you install the fan control amplifier, DO NOT turn on the blower motor unless the amplifier is mounted in the air duct. Those things get very hot very quickly and the transistor inside will burn up without air blowing over it.

That is the amplifier and like dennismilk stated you have to make sure you have the auto climate controls if your car is an gle the se version of the 2003 has manual climate control which uses resisitor. If you look below the dash is where its located some people will you have to remove the glove box but you dont I did this in 5 mins.

The fan control amplifier controls the speed of the fan, same for the resistor in the manual controls.
