Your air blower speed control knob became difficult to turn and required excessive force. When you investigated, you found that the connector for the blower control was partially melted, and the ground wire had melted insulation. The problem occurred when the blower was running on speed four, suggesting an overheating issue. The fix will likely involve replacing the blower control module and inspecting or replacing the damaged wiring harness and ground connections.
