Just finished a rewire of that area in my 300SD due to a small fire, all the HVAC did was high speed. Pretty annoying. The repair was a big time PITA... booster has to come out to really get in there.

This isn't the blower motor resistor, but the resistor for the electric fan infront of the radiator. I definitely wouldn't want to eliminate low speed on the blower. Is there another one there on the 300? My SD is parked at my mom's house until I finish an engine rebuild, probably in like 5 years at this rate. The 560 only has 1 resistor there.
I'm tempted to slap together a circuit to get rid of these resistors and use PWM. Less wasted power, no heat, and software-adjustable fan speeds.
