Automotive/location of a/c resistor

Question
I've been told it's on the passenger side under the hood, but the only thing I can find is something that looks like it plugs in near the a/c unit, but its behind the windshield washer and engine fill up containers. I don't want to remove these unless I have the right spot. Can you help?

Thank you,

Sue

Answer
Sue,
  I have never heard of an A/C resistor. From your description, you may be talking about the Blower Motor Resistor. This is the resistor that creates the "Low, Medium and High" blower speeds. Is this what you mean?
  IF it is, you can respond with the year, make and model of car you have, I'll see if I can find a picture of what your car actually has so you can see what it looks like.
  We are not done so don't give up. If you car actually has an A/C Resistor, I will find out and let you know where it is. Keep in touch..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
