That used blower motor might be bad.
The resistor might also be bad.

Usually when one goes bad the other does to.

Those links bring you to a site. One pic is of the resistor and the other link is to parts.
Your resistor might not also look exactly like that one.

But it is to the left of the blower motor.

Keep an EYE on the blower motor. Usually the Resistor goes bad first and burns up the motor.
The motor I will bet is weak as well.

The cruise control pump is mounted to the bottom of the battery tray.
Check all the hoses coming off the pump really good.
