I know I'm gonna feel like an idiot after I'm told where this fuse is.
I open my glove compartment and look at the fuse map, and it shows me a fuse 75 or 76 for the blower, but my fuses only go up to 45 or so.. WHERE ARE THESE FUSES???

And where exactly is the final stage resistor?

exactly what kind of car are you talking about????

open the battery box on the right side of the trunk, you'll see the rear fuse panel just above the battery. Ahead of the battery is the main fuselink E-box.
