Default My 91 is smoking out the vents

I'm not sure what method he used but, he replaced the resistors associated
with the fan motor. I have all fan speeds back and everything is normal. The
burning smell was leaves that had burned when the resistors fried, which he
cleaned out. The whole thing cost $136, I don't know if that was too much or
not but the problem is fixed and I'm happy. Thanks to everyone here who
helped me out! I was able to speak to the mechanic more informed and come to
a resolution quickly. Thanks again!
