Works fine on 1 - 3. On setting 4, it runs about ten seconds, and trips the breaker.
I've read the other threads. Here's what I've done: Replaced the resistor, swapped breakers, swapped hi-speed relay. When I replaced the resistor, there is an L-shaped shroud under it. It was facing the blower motor, and that's how I reinstalled it. Is it to keep airflow off the bottom of the resistor, or is it installed the wrong direction, and it's actually a heat shield for the plastic housing? Could that be my problem, or do I need a new blower motor? Thanks.

I had a problem with the condenser fan on my APU. Short story, the bearings on the fan began to wear causing resistance which caused increased current blowing the fuse.

All the speeds go through different wiring, so either the blower motor itself is getting tired and blows only on high speed, or the actual high speed feed wire is shorted somewhere. You would have to pull the seat and blower cover to access the blower, then unplug it and then select high speed again. If the breaker does not trip, then you have a bad blower.

Edit: I also metered all the wiring, and I'm getting no continuity to ground on any hot wire. Not at blower motor wiring, circuit breaker, resistor, nothing. I don't *think I've got a short. -

The common cause of a wire producing heat is too small for the amps it has to carry or a bad connection. Surely the folks at international wouldn’t skimp on the wiring

Like mentioned, a hot breaker is usually because of a weak terminal connection. If the terminal has a good tight contact to the breaker tang, the actual terminal crimp on the wire itself in behind might be the weak point.
