AC only works at max fan again. Replaced blower resistor 18 months ago. So, does that mean it's time to replace the blower?

You might just be able to recondition it. I had my blower motor resistor pop several years back and when I was looking at it I realized that it basically just acted like a fuse. Took the motor out and disassembled it and found some corrosion in the bushing at the end. Cleaned it up and put some lithium grease in there and it's been running fine ever since. I think it just got enough extra drag built up from sitting for a while that the initial current it took to get everything moving was too much. If you're mechanically inclined you could always give it a go. Worst case you're putting a new motor back in anyway.

Check the resistor again, The specs, and process are in the service manual. Also, check to see if there is any water draining in to that area, and possibly ruining the resistor. Luckily, it is easy/ cheap to replace
