Open your glove box, squeeze in both sides and let it drop down. Directly behind there, is the blower resister, its approx. 3" x 1.5" with a 5/16 screw on each end and two wiring connectors. (one big one small)
Remove that, there is a piece of wire that runs from one end to the other on the back side that has a small bullet shape thermal fuse built into it (prob. red on one end). You can test for continuity with a multimeter on each side of the bullet shaped fuse. It is a thermal fuse that goes bad often. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you get one from Radio Shack and replace it for $1.49 (240/10a/144 deg) take the resistor and these numbers and they should be able to help you. Let me know if you need the specific R. Shack part #, I may have it at home.
Just clip the stiff wire ( don't cut at the base, I cut where the wire is bent at 90 deg. on each end to leave some to work with) and remove the old thermal fuse. Slip the new one in and solder it to the old wire and clip the excess. Tin your wires first with a bist of solder and work quickly so you don't overheat the new fuse. Too much heat could ruin it to.
Reassemble.
Hope this helps. (of course you could just buy a new resistor for $20-$30, probably an easier solution
