Default Blower motor suddenlly stoped working

This morning while heading to work, i noticed that the AC/ heater blower motor stoped working. i did notice yesterday that it was squeeling, although it was still working, now i havnt had time to check it out.

I am just posting it just incase someone has had the same problem or it might be just a defect. i will start by checking Fuses, Relays, then last by checking the blower motor. Although it might just be the motor itself since it began with a slight noise for the past two day..

Any advice?

thanks

Most of the time when a blower motor stops working it's the blower resistor, they either short to ground or burn open.

Hummm I thought that i would check a fuse and a relay, well thanks to cutting to the chase. I guess ill check the resistor, then the motor..ill be arriving home ready jeje..

Thanks

Oh and im assuming that the resistor is by the blower motor?

Well i went to the junker and got myself a blower motor and a Blower resistor. I replaced the motor first, so that said the resistor is still good but i had bought the wrong one anyways. I cant return it so if anyone is intrested in it. The blower resistor came off a 97 S70, ill sell it for $15. shipped..

Yes, does your Volvo Have a Distributor by any chance?

No distributor. Car has ECC. Resistor is all integrated circuit. No parts easily removed or resoldered. My unit has several numbers on it, stickered, only one impressed into plastic. I don't know if there are different ones for each model...I will need your guidance.
thanks
