Disconnect the brown 7P connector (C202) from the main harness. Remove the YEL/BLK wire terminal from cavity 3 of connector C202. Cut off the terminal, and tape the remaining end of the wire to the harness.
NOTE: If necessary, refer to the terminal replacement section of the appropriate ETM for how to properly remove a terminal from a connector.

Fig 1: Cutting Off Terminals
Disconnect the 2P blower motor connector, cut off the connector, and tape the remaining ends of the wires to the pigtail. Then tape the pigtail to the main harness.
Disconnect the white 5P connector from the power transistor. Remove the BLU/RED wire terminal from cavity 4 of the power transistor connector. Cut off the terminal, and tape the remaining end of the wire to the harness.
Take the subharness, and insert the YEL/BLK wire terminal into cavity 3 of connector C202 and insert the BLU/RED wire terminal into cavity 4 of the power transistor connector. Tape both wires to the existing harness. Route the harness so there is no tension on the blower motor connector.

Fig 2: Inserting Subharness
Reconnect connector C202 and the power transistor connector, then connect the 2P connector on the new subharness to the blower motor.
Verify the blower motor operates properly at all speeds.
Reinstall the glove box and cover.
