I changed the resistor module as well as the fan and this did NOT fix anything.
Here is the sequence I went through after reading the on-line forums. Most folks said it was the resistor module so I bought a new one. I measured the new resistor module with an ohmmeter before I installed it. It was identical to the original part so I need to change the blower fan can you help me please?

Hi,

Before you get a new blower motor, you may want to test the old one by supplying 12v to it to see if it runs. If it is bad, here are the directions for replacement. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
