A breeze-block is a lightweight building block made from cinders and concrete.
Check the connections on the E-series vans blower resister. The resister and wiring have a bypass to send full voltage to the blower motor. a loose connection here will cause the motor to not run on high.
To test the blower motor resistor, unplug the resistor connector. Each blower motor switch input terminal on the resistor must have continuity to the resistor output terminal, which is connected to the circuit going to the blower motor. If the blower motor resistor continuity does not check OK, replace the faulty resistor.You need a multimeter to test the resistor block and there should be continuity between all terminals.

The blower motor resistor block is located on the underside of the HVAC housing (Heater Box) next to the blower motor. The blower motor is located at the right side of the dashboard. You can access the blower motor resistor block from under the dashboard. A Word of Caution! Stay clear of the blower motor resistor block heat sink - It could be Hot. Incidentally, I have read about people working on their dashboards and setting off the airbag. It is a good thing to disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery and make sure that it can not touch the battery post. Wait at least a couple of minutes for the airbag system to discharge.
a blower motor resistor controls the speed of the fan from low to the 2nd highest by going through a resistor block. The resistance changes on each coil, therefore changing the speed of the blower. high setting bypasses all of the coils and runs at full speed. You know yours has gone bad if it only runs on high.
Under the hood in the fuse block you will see a large black block. This is the heater blower fuse.

ON THE 1993, THAT BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER BLOCK IS LOCATED LOW ON THE BLOWER-MOTOR/HEATER CORE SHROUD (OUT ON THE FIREWALL) JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE HEATER CORE AND JUST BENEATH A PAIR OF HEATER HOSES THAT GO THRU THE FIREWALL. IT JUST MIGHT ALSO BE LOCATED THERE ON THE 2002.On the '02, it's located inside under the dash, behind a small panel, below the glove box.
