This resistor (actually a set of them all in one package) controls the blower motor speeds. If your blower only goes high, or off, then this has gone bad. Fortunately its trivial to change in the sportage. The replacement part is about $50 online. It's located under the passenger side dash, and it is held on with 2 Phillips head screws. Disconnect the plug, unscrew, and replace and reconnect. Takes 5 minutes. Once you get the replacement part it will be obvious.

I don't know who posted this but they have not replaced a resistor in an 98 to 02 Kia Sportage

I know this because the resistor is actually behind the glove box! You will have to take off the glove box and get behind it, but be careful and be sure that you understand how the glove box is attached and remove all screws, both sides of the inner glove box (you do this by pushing on each side in turn it will probably be obvious to you when you look at it) and the lever on the right side below the compartment. Then you will be able to see the resistor on top (not on the bottom) of the blower. You will need a screwdriver that flexes at the tip to remove the screws because there is not enough space to get a normal screwdriver on top of the screws. All other info above is correct. (Little longer than 5 mins but still very doable)
