2001 GA Blower/Switch issue

Hi,
This is my first post. I bought an '01 GA for my daughter yesterday. It has a few minor problems. I'm currently replacing the brakes lines and the fuel lines. I also noticed that the blower motor operates only on setting "5". There are a lot of smart people on here who can probably point me in the right direction. Should I look at the switch, the motor itself or a resistor? Thanks in advance for your help... Jeff

The blower motor resistor is bad.

Or you can get a small extension, that has a swivel included for the socket connection on the extension. It made much easier for me, I also took out the front seat. That way I could lay down, much easier on my broken back.

Yes it can be hell on the old back!

On thing the insulation and rubber mat on the fire wall is kinda thick and in the way, compressing it several times should give you a little more room as with removing the blower.
