alot of times the blower motor will work fine, yet it will short out the resistor. look into replacing the blower motor and resistor at the same time. i found this problem to be common in different makes and models :D

Suggested Repair

Replace the blower motor and the resistor block at the same time. A motor that still runs can short the resistor and cause repeated failures.
