There is a heater resistor that is located under the dash on the passenger's side of the truck. You have to remove 2 5/16" screws to remove the cover, then 2 1/4" screws to remove the resistor. There are 2 electrical connectors,1 to the resistor and 1 to the blower motor. Use a small flat screwdriver to release the connectors with out breaking them. I could not find the part at any local supply place, had to buy from the dealer... Keep your receipt, I have replaced mine 2 times at 100$ a pop. The first one lasted 3 months and I didn't save my receipt (it had a warranty). I was also told the blower motor might be causing the resistor to go bad, so if it goes out again I'm replacing the blower motor too. I hope this helps you.

blower resistor is bad
If the blower works on the defrost mode only, you could have a disconnected vacuum supply line coming from the engine. If the blower motor doesn't work on any mode or speed you could have a blown fuse, burned out blower motor speed resistor, bad switch or a bad blower motor.
If it has separate blower speed controls for the front and rear, it has separate resistors. Blower speed resistors are mounted close to the blower motor it controls for cooling purposes.
The blower motor fuse protects the blower motor electrical circuit. The blower motor relay operates only the high speed function of the blower motor. The blower motor speed resistor operates the lower speed functions of the blower motor.
If the blower motor does not run at any speed, and you are positive the fuse is good, then it is either a defective blower motor, blower motor speed control, bad Blower Motor Resistor Pack, or loose, corroded, or disconnected wiring. I would replace the fuse even if it looks good before going any farther. Apply 12 volts directly to the motor to see if it is good.
Could be hi-speed fan relay or secondary winding in blower motor
Defective blower motor, blower motor resistor pack, or blower motor speed control switch.
If you are saying the blower motor will not work, then check the fuse. If the fuse is not blown, then it is possibly a defective Blower Motor Resistor Pack, blower motor, or blower motor speed control switch, in that order.If you are saying the blower motor will not work, then check the fuse.

The resister for the 2001 prism blower motor drops voltage to the blower motor. This is how the blower motor runs at a lower speed.
yes indeed
The blower resistor controls the speeds of the blower motor Hi-resistance lower motor speed Lo-resistance higher motor speed
The blower motor speed resistor is burned out. The high speed function bypasses the resistor. The speed resistor is generally located near to the blower motor.
