Bernie's comment on the fan resistor

[Tessie McMillan]

Hi Bernie and all -

You know, I took out and replaced the fan resistor (the one where you have 
to pull the glove box) last... spring? I think. The fan problem never 
went 100% away... the air movement was not present on 1, dismal on 2, and 
OK on 3 and 4. Now things have kind of puked out so that both 1 and 2 are 
kaput, 3 can be kind of puny, depending, and 4 is a bit loud but it 
works, although I'm afraid I'll burn something out if I leave 
it on for long.

Should I replace the resistor again? Or is there another part of _that_ 
puzzle?

Tess
p.s. 

I'll bet y'all are thinking I got a lemon car here, but no. I've 
driven and tracked this car for so many years I'm not about to give up on 
niggling problems, and she's coming up on 20 years old, so please consider 
that.
