Default S70 Blower motor

First i have to say THANKS for all the past info, you guys are awesome.
My wife has a 1999 S70 and the a/c blower has stoped working. She told a couple of days ago that it was acting up and then today it has stopped. I checked the climate control unit and it seems to be working i.e. turning on the A/C on and Off and moving the dampers etc. It sounds like after reading several posts that it might be the blower motor or the resitor thing.
Can anyone help me locate them and if there is a simple test or should i just replace both. Thanks for any direction.
Jim

Well resistor controls speed of blower motor so it gotta be blower motor then. Both are located under passenger side dash. Have you checked fuses for blower motor?

Default That was easy

Wow, After watching the video you directed me to, I was able to find a local junk yard, Practiced on the junked car and took it out, very easy and got home and got installed in less than 15 mins and it works great!!! This site has saved me another few hundred dollars. My wife thanks you and so do I. Have a very blessed day.

Thumbs up Thank You! Outstanding

Im new here so I'm not sure I'm responding in the right place, BUT

Thanks for the S70 Blower Motor advice and link to the how-to video.
It was simple and straight forward. Actual replacement time 6 minutes!

Simply brilliant!
