Blower Motor stops working

[NYChevoo]

Not sure what going on here but let me explain what happened. Starting out the day I had the a/c on and the fan switch on "high" setting. Sometime during the course of the day I noticed that the blower wasnt functioning on #4 setting eventhough it was set there. When I got home I shut down the car and pulled the 20 amp fuse in the panel located on the left side of the dashboard. That wasnt burnt. I then popped the hood, and checked the fuseblock and felt the relay which felt a little on the hot side to the touch, and I also checked the 30 amp fuse and that fuse wasnt burnt. I got back in the car and restarted it, hit the a/c switch, then turned on the blower. Nothing at all. At that point I went inside to take care of some stuff and left it alone. Later tonight I went out, started the car and the blower came on but still not at top speed. I let the blower run for like 20 minutes or so, and shut off the switch. Turned it back on and nothing. At about 12am I went out and checked it again, came on, not top speed, shut it down immediately, and turned it back on. Nothing after 1 minute of running. No fuses blown, maybe bad relay? Bad blower motor? Really sucks because about 2 months ago I had the a/c recharged and its freezy cold which is awesome!

I don't have the A/C in my car, but I do know that the top speed of the blower motor (4th) has it's own setting in the relay, because when I switch through the rest of the speeds, nothing happens, but when I switch to the top speed, I hear a relay click. I think your guess about the relay is right. I'd look into that first.

sounds like a blower motor resistor
not sure what year your cars is mines an 08 and the part number is 96435889
hope this helps

Ok if its the resistor, where is it located?

I have the same question?

UPDATE: I know this is not the proper fix but it seems that a few light taps on the bottom center of the blower motor seems to fix this temporarily. still working in December of 2011!
