About Blower Motor
The blower motor in a car is a small electrical motor located inside the vehicle’s heating and air conditioning duct. The blower motor works in conjunction with the heater core by drawing air from outside the vehicle and blowing it across the core. This heated air is then used to warm the passenger cabin. The blower motor on your car may fail with little or no warning, but if you notice your heater is underperforming or you hear a grinding or scraping noise coming from the firewall on the passenger side of the vehicle, it could be a sign that the blower motor will soon need to be replaced.
About Blower Resistor
On most American and import cars and light trucks, the blower resistor is located near or on the blower motor. Many of the newest makes and models incorporate the fan speed as part of the HVAC control module, but if yours doesn't have this, you can change it rather quickly and get your blower working correctly in no time.
