My blower is only working on #4 setting. Was told its the resistor and its a fairly easy fix and inexpensive if I do it myself. Where is it located and does anyone have a step by step on how I can get at it? I'm fairly new at car repair but have dabbled a little.....am just hoping it doesn't involve a full dash pull out.
How do I get at the Heat Resistor in my 05 G6Gt

Not the blower motor though....the resistor
Your description and the pictures were great. But my problem is the resistor, not the blower motor. So where in there is the resistor? Do I have to go through alllll of that just to get to it?

it is SUPER easy to replace. If you can turn a socket wrench, you can do this. I just bought an 05 GT and settings 1 and 2 were not working. This 40 dollar part from gm fixed it.
I also have the knock sound on turning, but understand this is not an issue.
Don't have to pull dash apart, its under the glove box.

The panel just pulls off. The cutting you are thinking of is when you have to replace the motor. No cutting involved for this repair.
For the resistor just pull off the plastic cover (clipped on, underneath glovey) and the resistor is back on the firewall. It has a 4 wire plug plugged into it. Just unplug that and take a 8mm I think socket, and take the two bolts out. Slap the new one in, then place the plastic cover back up underneath the glovey and you are good as new

I just changed mine too. It also only worked on the 4th setting. I was gonna look for a cheaper one online but the fact is it was fixed in less then 10 minutes so I really can't complain. It just erks me that I paid that much for a resistor, something so basic in electronics. I should've just solder my own 1ohm resistors lol.
