Eventually, the blower in the V70 completely died. I replaced it with a TYC blower off of Amazon for $64 including shipping and, though it is a little bit noisy at full speed, I don't find it offensive and I think it is a great aftermarket replacement. That completely resolved that car's blower problems.

I also bought a TYC blower for the S70, but before I got it installed the blower that previously would only work at 1/3 speed mysteriously started working. So now I have a spare on the shelf.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.

Same experience with the TYC being a bit noisy and vibrate a bit at full speed. At a cheap price, it's a tradeoff.
