I'm going to try Meir's suggestion in the next day or two. Before I do, I have two questions.

1. The resistor has two different wire connections. One is a plug and it's clear how to attach it. The other is two bare wires. See picture

I presume these bare wires attach to the fan motor. Does anyone know how they actually attach to the fan motor?

2. If I try to do this job by taking off the front bumper cover, can I reach behind the radiators and make the repair or do I have to also loosen the fender liner. The shop manual says to fix by removing the liner, but I heard the job can be done by removing the bumper cover.
