Yes. I believe it's also bright blue, if clean? Been a long time
since I looked in there, but yes, that's the appearance.
Failure of the resistor pack is exceptionally rare. If the fan
doesn't work at all, especially on a 1989 or later car, the fusable
link is the first suspect for "it overheats when I get into traffic,
it's fine on the highway". Keep in mind a common failure is a
hairline crack which self-welds itself, breaks, self-welds, etc.
