Resist this
It's a 'resistor block'. Normally it's ceramic, with a wire coil. I had to replace the one in the wife's mini van - $18part, but required a lot of dash disassembly to gain access.

To continue borking up a for-sale thread...
Those cars had a switch on I think the backside of the passenger cylinder head. The idea was, it wouldn't allow the fan to work until the engine warmed up. They supposedly fail all the time. I say supposedly, because I never really got a chance to work on any of these things.
The switch can be replaced, or the faulty logic behind the idea can be fixed by hardwiring it. Cold air is better than no air when you're trying to defog a windshield.
I guess it never gets cold in Detroit, or something.
