Yours is a 99 which is on the cutoff for the regulator being replaceable as a separate part. PAY close attention to chassis cut off numbers on the parts page to confirm.

The reg and blower motor is located above the passenger side knee space. Couple of panels to remove then pull the blower motor and squirrel cage fan as a unit, etc. Not difficult.

If the blower is intermittent, check the motor for dead spots on the brushes first before spending $200 on the regulator.
