2010 Suzuki Kizashi GTS Blower Motor fan resistor
Does anyone know if the resistor is bolted to the top of the blower motor? I'm trying to look for diagrams now. The company is sending me another used blower motor with instructions to make sure the resistor is inside. Is this correct or is the resistor a whole separate part?

Just to wrap this up, the car is fixed (for) now. LKQ came through with the resistor after I sent them the diagram and told them where to find it. I also received another blower motor. 
For future reference, all the other places I called would not sell me just a resistor, they would only sell the blower motor, wire sensor and resistor as a package. These parts are connected under the hood but the first time I was sent the blower motor it came with nothing else.
From all the dealerships, shops and yards I had to speak with in this endeavor I learned that this is an inherent issue with some Suzuki models and finding new parts is almost impossible. I haven't had heat or A/C since February. My dealer where I bought the car said it was on "super-duper back-order from Japan." They had no idea when they would get any blower motors or resistors from Suzuki and "it could be years." This lead me to get used parts.

Thanks for posting the update. I know the late model Grand Vitara's have a reputation for blowing them as well. I haven't heard of too many Kizashi's (yet, they're still relatively new.) 
Perhaps pull your old one apart - they can often be fixed.

Wow, this is good to know. Thank you for updating.
