I dont believe that is a resistor controlled circuit. I think it is a transistor controlled circuit mounted on the firewall cdcneter area.
you can have slow air inside but no high speed air if the module is defective.

I Have a 1998 Buick Rivera Blower does not blow i have power to the relay under the rear seat i have pulled the blower motor. by passed and motor fine no power to fuse left side of dash is there a rel

Not sure hat rely you are checking but the blower motor does. To have a relay in the rear fuse block. The fuse you're checking protects the HVAC computer. The HVAC computer uses that circuit to monitor the voltage going to the blower motor.

The most likely problem is the blower motor resistor, aka blower motor module, blower motor speed control. It is typically located near the blower motor. The red wire is power from the battery and should be there all the time. Black is ground. Purple is power to the blower. Grey/black is the speed input from the HVAC module.

90 buick park ave heater blower motor runs on high all the time even with key off . The heater controls don't have any effect on operation.

The switch , relay, or motor are shorted out .
First locate relay and remove it to turn the blower off.
If you want to do the diagnosis yourself ...remove the switch first and see if the motor stops. if it does you've found the culprit. If not move onto relay if the relay removal kills the motor thats good news. if it doesn't then this thing gets B+ right from the battery at HIGH SPEED. Your gonna need Shop Manual
to show you where this thing connects to the battery.
So either the switch, relay, motor , or resistors ( in your case where battery connects to the motor are your problems.
Unlessyour really good with electrical items pull the relay and bring it to a repair shop.

1989 Buick Park Ave heating problems. I got this car a few months ago and it was great,...now having problems. The heating/AC control unit works fine, there was however a toggle switch controling the...

check to see if there is a resistor on the blower motor. it should be located either beside or underneath the blower motor.. if that is bad it wont let you select different fan speed settings and if it goes completely out the blower will not work at all.
