Default 97 XJ6 Blower Resistor Location

I am about to pull my hair out.
I have seen photos of the resistor. I know what it looks like, I know what the wire looks like. I have several threads stating it is behind the glove box.
I have searched and searched on both sides of the dash. I have not seen anything that looks like it. Any photos or drawings?
Thanks

OK...found it...I decided to tear my parts car apart. Once I removed the air bag I was able to see it. It is on top of the blower, no wonder I couldn't see it in my wifes car.
So I have to remove her blower motor to get to it.

Probably something like:
Have radio code handy.
Disconnect battery!
Remove glove box.
Remove air bag wooden trim.
Remove airbag.
Refit in reverse.
Hats off to Ronniels for finding the resistor in the first place.

Managed to get it out of the 97 without pulling airbag. Still a pain but much easier knowing where my goal was.
I will take photos and post this weekend. Just 3 bolts on the blower, and one of those 3 can not be reached with a socket, has to be an open ended wrench.
Have to remove glove box and trim. Then the floor air vents. And loosen the Body Computer, but do not have to unplug it.

Default Not the Resistor

Installed new resistor...still no fan...
Checked both fans straight to 12 volts before buying the resistor.
They are both good.
Also before buying resistor I checked for voltage going into old resistor.
As I turned knob on dash the voltage changed up and down from about 3 to 10 volts
Any ideas?
