Should I attempt this ? Symptoms are every other day the controls stop working. YouTubed it and it looks like something I may actually be able to handle, especially since my mechanic is booked up. I was going to start with changing out the Resister but maybe should replace the blower motor also. Any advise from experience ? Thx !
 
I would test the blower motor first. If you can get to just run a hot and a ground to the two terminals. I don't where the motor is on that year.

I have that issue where this switch wasn't working and I found that if I wiggled my ignition switch a tiny bit the blower would come on. It's just a contact in the ignition switch.
There may also be a relay switch that is defective.
What all is it doing and not doing.
Is it intermittent?
 
It has never kicked on while the engine was running. Just hit or miss. I wiggled and jiggled the ignition but nothing. Also, the first two fan speeds (low / Med. ) haven’t worked for years.

motor is accessible but my skills are limited 😞
 
I have a 2013 express 3/4 ton extended.
I feel like I remember replacing the fan speed knob a while back for similar issues.
There's a snap in trim piece on the dash that once you remove, there's just a bunch of screws holding your knobs on.

This is the knob I replaced about 8 years ago. First I lost low fan speed, then the medium and finally the last two wouldn't do anything intermittently. Sometimes It would work sometimes not. Changed it out and bingo, back in biz.
