I havn't actually seen the car but it was described to me by the owner
that the blower runs only at one speed - high - and is very noisy.
The owner wants to replace the blower motor - which is not cheap even
with a non factory replacement - but I worry that either the blower
switch or the blower motor resister or some other electric or
electronic gizmo is at fault. Or - since the motor is so noisy does
it have high resistance that perhaps fried the blower motor resister??

Any help you can give would be most appreciated - also the location of
the resistor if that may be the problem.

When an automotive heater blower runs only on high, it is almost always due
to a problem with the resistor pack. The good news is that replacing a
resistor is a lot less expensive than replacing the blower motor. The
resistor pack is placed where air from the blower passes across the pack.

It is hard to say what is causing the blower to be noisy without hearing the
noise first hand. When you remove the resistor pack, check the blower area
for signs of grass leaves, insulation.

The bad news is you have to get in the passenger's footwell, upside down
and backwards, to get the darn thing out! :)

by the way, you can go to autozone.com and plug in the model and year for
drawing of what you are looking for.

Your wife says he'll have no problem with that. ;)
You've got to read her blog more often.
