01 Malibu HVAC fan didn't work on 5

Read through the HVAC thread on the forum and found it very helpful! I changed the resistor but level 5 still didn't work with the new resistor installed... Found out that it was a 30 amp fuse #53 under the hood, the high level blower fuse. Installed a new fuse, put the old resistor back in and the AC blower worked fine! However, one more problem....the new fuse blew a few minutes later...not sure what that is about. I installed a second 30 amp fuse and it has been working for an hour so far. Hope this helps others from all the work, although a person's back gets a good work out, working upside down on the seat and the floor...:smooch:

Sounds like a blower motor on it's way out....

Thanks Tech II for the response. Interestingly, I just replaced the blower motor 9 months ago in September so I hope it isn't that issue.
