Answer
Hello David,
This is a common problem and has a clear answer: the component called the 'resistor block' which has a series of resistors that changes the voltage to the blower motor.
You can access it by removing the lower right under-dash panel (it pulls down, but I am unsure about whether there are fasteners or not) to give you access to the blower motor on the underside of the unit To the left of the blower housing you will see a rectangular panel with wires protruding from it. That is the resistor block and the main body of the module (the resistors) are on the other side of the panel so as to be cooled by the air in the duct. The block is held in place by two screws which when removed will allow you to remove the block. Unplug the two plugs from the block and get a new one from the dealer. I don't know the cost. If you are electronically knowledgeable it might be possible to replace the burnt out resistor(s) but I have not tried this myself.
