a friend looked at it, could be the switch itself? could be a wire burnted out? any other ideas. don't want to pay dealer hundreds unless l absolutely have too. lol.

Your blower motor resistor has failed. It isnt the switch, or control head as it is more accurately called, or the motor itself. The motor usually either works, or it doesnt. Same with the control head circuits. The control head doesnt control the speed of the blower, it just changes which circuit the power goes through in the blower resistor. The resistor controls the motor speed. As stated before, its located right around the blower motor behind the dash. It usually has decent access, since its assumed it will eventually fail. If you hapen to have a Chrysler product, I can give you a ballpark price of the repair. I work at a Chrysler dealership. We usually charge for 1 hour of labor to replace them, depending on the application. The resistor itself is generally between $15 to $40. Hope this helps, and if you need any more info, feel free to email me!

Its the resistor stack for the blower fan. Usually mounted inthe heater air flow duct or in the engine compartment near the heater fan motor.
If its a Ford you will probably need to get a new plug with the resistors because the old one will be fused togeather . You won't be able to unplug it. Take out the screws and cut the harness.The ford garage parts dept. usually has a kit to repair the problem.
The resistor block will be held in with 2 or 3 screws.

sounds like the blower motor resistor is shot. look for a couple of wires going to the heater duct work but not to the blower motor. most parts stores have or can get them.

i wager you park less than a tree. lots of the situations, leaves get contained in the clean air intake and would wreck the resistors for the blower motor. the resistor must be in the back of the glove compartment and performance 3-4 wies attatched to it. 2 small screws carry it in position or perhaps as bumped off it really is going to appear like 3 small springs. the change area might want to not be over 20 greenbacks. you want to purchase a restoration guide from a community parts save and seek for suggestion from the e book for positive places of resistors in this automobile.

it is probably the fan control switch;if fan motor was going it would wine or vibrate making some unusual noises .now if you are talking temperature ck thermostat at base of top radiator hose at engine

It should not cost more than $200 to have it fixed right. Have a certified mechanic look at it and get an estimate.

it is probably the switch, but not knowing what type of car it could be a resistor or even a vacuum line

sounds like your blower motor is going out. It's not really too expensive to replace if you know someone who can help you.

It's the blower motor resistor !!

sounds like the switch to me Liston to your friend sounds like he knows what he is doing
