Default How do you know if AC blower is blowing at MAX ??

I'm trying to keep cold here in CA, I think my AC needs to be recharged.

But even so, the damn car's AC Fan/Blower does not blow strong.

Is there a way to tell if the blower is on high speed.

I know that at least on my 93' Toyota truck, it uses a resistor pack, and the different settings lo,med, med-hi, and hi are all related to a different resistance on the resistor pack. Do our cars have the same resistor-pack??

Is there any way to check with the built-in diagnostics, or a volt meter, or something else, cause the blower in this car is weak.

Thanks for the comments,

Default I fixed a 5000 with that problem once.....

It needed a blower control unit. You can find it on top the evaporator case with 2 plugs on it, when you take the screws out and lift it out it has a heat sink on it. You can find them on some late 80's and early 90's cadillac's next to the blower motor if your visiting a junk yard and need one of em.
