I can live with that. Again, thanks. The Honda manual sure makes it look
vastly harder.

The glove box comes off with few screws and one electrical connector for
the light (if you have one).

The resistor is in plain sight, and is held in by two bolts.

Once you remove the glove box, you will see how easy it is.

It's not the switch, it's the resistor pack on the blower motor. I had
the same thing happen on my '90 Prelude. Not a tough fix. I might have
been able to replace it without pulling the blower motor out, but the
brushes on the motor needed replacement, too (I found this out when I
pulled the motor out for other service about a year ago). Honda says
you can't replace just the brushes, but that's bunk. A friend who
deals in a lot of various repairs and mods knew a source for the
brushes, cost me $20, rather than a $300 motor.

Gotcha. Just ordered the out of stock resistor pack from local Honda people.
$38. Many thanks.
