I'll add that a burned out motor speed resistor is a symptom much like a fuse. The blower motor needs attention or replacement.

It has bare windings and spade terminals sticking out. I haven't studied this point but I presume it gets some airflow from the blower intake. Newer versions of this resistor have a thermal fuse located above the second-stage resistor winding. You could substitute your front blower resistor but I would expect the resulting speeds to be higher than the original, and you would still have to mount it with some attention to ventilation.
