Blower Motor

Looks like you are correct. Horrible job and this is all I could find, no youtube videos or guides. I have a Haynes manual but I am at work for the next week.

Yes, that's the only info I could find as well, If I get it out without that trouble I'll let you know.

Just put a meter across the two wires that go into the blower and there’s nothing there. All fuses seem ok and relays have been swapped around. Final stage resistor has been swappped so I’m wondering whether it’s the actual controls?
