most blower resistors are used to conrol blower fan speed some are mechanical useing different sizes of coiled wire to cut down power which slows fan speed down a open resistor is a open circuit or broken circuit most time you only have high speed and no lower pseeds when resistor blows also now ther are electronic resistors that limit power to fan but they use electronic parts to perform the same effect as theyre early models. open resistor is a open short or breake in the electricity flow. its in the blower box to keep it from overheating resistance equals heat.. g

Blower motor only works on hi speed 01 ranger 3.0?

Most likely the resister is burnt out. When you use less than full blower, the blower speed switch shunts the 12v power though a resister to drop the voltage to the blower motor, slowing the blower speed. When the multi-speed resister is burnt out, it is, 'open circuited'. So no electricity can pass though to the blower. When the blower switch is on 'full', the resister is bypassed, allowing full power to the fan motor for maximum speed. It should be located under that dashboard in most vehicles. Just trace the wires from the switch to the resister. Warning: a working resister can get very hot when power is going though it.
