having the blower motor resistor go out is very common on Toyota (multiple models/generations/years).
when i first got my 94 I had one speed. Pulled the dash apart, the fan switch was burned to a crisp. Replaced it with a donor switch I had, still ran like crap. Pulled the blower motor resistor,- mounted on the fire wall, right side under the blower motor..replaced it, have all fan speeds and life is good with the A/C and heat.
you can try going straight to the resistor but it is easier to pull the glove box out to get more room...start on the right side, remove the right side speaker housing and than you can see a few screws that hold the glove box in

I'd like to have a talk with the genious at Toyota who decided to put a failure prone point in such a convience place (tucked under the blower unit on the right side)
I went ahead and pulled the glove box hoping for a little more room.
got it out after a few minutes and cussing, not the easiest thing to get out.
if you need to having a 7mm wrench helps on the back screw/bolt, you can get to the visible screw with a screwdriver or nut driver.
new one on the left, old one on the right..old one was slightly tarnished.
new one should offer a few years of good service
