Ok so today was my day when my new resistor which was $21.46 and cabin air filter which was $19.42 arrived from gmpartsdirect.com. Got them both installed pretty quickly meaning less than 20 minutes. I like the new design of the cabin air filter. A little heftier with more filtration of particulates than the original. My original filter was pretty dirty, and now with the replaced filter the air flow is much improved. I was also told that the part number by GM was superceeded as well. The blower fan resistor that I removed did in fact have some corrosion on it so I was glad I replaced that too, and it also has been redesigned in the plug connection area. However, my problem still persists. I have to gently tap the fan motor to get it to operate. I ordered a new fan motor for $62.00 today from gmpartsdirect.com and should recieve it by Monday. Three screws, and it drops out. Fairly simple. Heres hoping thats the last part I order for that issue.

hmmm... sorry to hear it just wasn't the resistor. If you are going to put a motor in it, and there was corrosion on the resistor, be sure to clean all the connections to the fan, they might be corroded too (same housing). If the corrosion was pretty bad, and you have ac, try cleaning the drain along the firewall, down low i think. If might be slow and allow excess moisture to build up in the system.

This week the Aveo has decided to mess with me a little bit. Ok now the blower fan is working perfectly and continues to do so since my last post. However, now the a/c is no longer cooling. So. I'm going to drop her off at the mechanic and let them figure out my new problem. Overall, at 115K I'm still very happy and in another month or so the a/c wont even matter when the temp starts to drop. All I can do is laugh at this point.
