You would need to know if the blower motor is running. If it is not, you would need to know if it is getting power and ground.
If it is running, it could be a blend door problem under the dash.

    You would unplug the blower motor and check the plug with a meter or a test light.

    I understand you are a girl. I'm telling you what has to be checked by someone, either by you or a mechanic. If you don't have experience working on cars you may need a shop manual with the procedures or a mechanic.

SOURCE: Blower Motor on a '98 Olds Intrigue

THe blower motor is under the dash. You will have to take out the glovebox and half of the dash to get up in there, but if you have the time and the energy you can fix yourself. Will have to disconnect heater core hoses under the hood

SOURCE: cant find the low pressure port to charge a/c on 2000 olds alero

It should be near the compressor on the low side line. It is a huge pain to get to. Feel along the line, and you should come to the fitting.

Check the fuse, the relay and blower switch, thinking the fuse may be under the hood by the battery since it's a high amp system to run the blower. If everything is electrically sound, you may have a bad blower motor. If you go to Auto Zone, they should have the blower for much less then the dealer and they will have the step by step instructions to replacing the blower motor with common tools. Good luck and hope this helps.Keep me posted, be glad to help.

SOURCE: Blower only works on the two highest settings

hi the blower motor is under the right side of the dash
remove the hush pannel
you don't have to remove the blower motor but it does give you more room
disconnect the wiring to the resistor there are two 5.5mm bolts that hold the resistor in
remove the bolts and slide the resistor out
install the new resistor and reassemble
hope this helps

I have a 2000 olds alero and first the back

It sounds like an electrical nightmare. The rear defrost and the blower motor are probably not related. The fact that the blower motor only runs on high is because the blower motor resistor is bad. I'm guessing the blower motor is just worn out that's why that quit. As far as the turn signal problem, not a clue there, maybe a bad ground somewhere or you're getting feedback from another circuit. Electrical problems are tough enough when they're right in front you, let trying do solve them via email. You need an electrical wiz for a mechanic.

2000 Olds Alero. Cooling/Heating fan stopped

The blower is on the right hand side under the dash. You are right in thinking the blower resistor is the problem. The resistor is in the heater box behind the blower. Only 2 bolts hold it in but the back one can be a challenge to remove. The bolt is 5.5 mm.

Check for power and ground with a test light at the resistor connector. You should have power on the colored wires in the various switch positions. The black one is ground.
