Replacing balast resistor

Replacing balast resistor
Okay, I'm pulling a 418 code and on suggestion I purchased a new ecc ballast resistor. After doing some searching, I noticed a lot of threads about the actual blower being a culprit causing a brand new resistor to go bad after installation. Here's my symptoms:
> Rec & A/C lights flashing
> Pulling 418 code (well, along with 417, but that's a different issue)
> The blower not strong at all, but after a non-specific period of time, will work
Question is, do I need to replace the blower too? If I do need one, then so be it, but I'm really very strapped cash wise (stupid electric & gas company) and really can't afford a new blower if I don't need one.
