Looks like there are several common complaints about the cooling system and heaters in these models. That said, I would start by checking at the relay(s) that control the fans. From what I see, there are a few different designs and components based on engine size. Can you provide more details about the model and engine? I am attaching a couple of diagrams for now. Does the following look like your under hood panel?

SOURCE: Fan motor works on high

Really common problem on Fords. My '00 vic had it and my friends 06 mustang had it. The problem is the blower motor gets old and starts drawing too much amperage. The motor is controlled by (on manual HVAC systems) by a nichrome resistor bank located near the heater core. The extra amperage blows the thermo-resistor in the bank, and also does some damage to the corresponding harness. The reason it work's on "HIGH" is because that setting bypasses the bank completely. You can fix the problem pretty easily yourself but it is sort of annoying. First go get a new blower motor, either from Ford or some other place like Napa or autozone. Probably one of the latter because sometimes it seems dealer's aren't always the most cost effective solutions =] Now head on down to Ford and pick up the resistor bank (and most likely the harness, but check if it's burnt first) park your car, let it cool down, and pull off the radiator cap, keeping it on the hole (this keeps the pressure equal, and just set it on the hole so no random stuff gets in) pull off the coolant lines to the heator core, unbolt the resistor bank, set it next to the next new one, and wire up the new harness one wire at a time. plug in the new one, bolt it in, and reinstall the coolant lines. then put in the new blower motor, it should be on the lower passanger side on the engine bay. Now go enjoy your new fan speeds!

SOURCE: blower fan stops on lower speeds 2000 grand marquis

There is a blower realy. Which steps the voltage up or down. If it fails it will run 12 volts or HIGH speed only... Replace that and your good.

SOURCE: 2000 grand marquis blower fan stops on lower speeds

there is a resistor for the fan motor which works the lower speeds, you need to replace that, it is normally located near the blower motor, got 3-6 wires plugged in it

SOURCE: 2000 silverado a/c only works on high fan speed.

Hi! The blower resistor is the culprit here,located on passenger side of vehicle under glove box area. I have replaced several of these for the same problem. You also need to check the connector for the resistor for heat damage to terminals and replace as needed. The harness will come with wiring attatched and heat shrink **** splice sleeves. hope you find this information useful!

SOURCE: blower motor for interior fan only blows on high

The blower resistor pack needs to be replaced, it's common for the blower speed resistors to burn up and will need to be replaced. It's easier to replace with the glove box out of the way. gmparts direct has the harness and resistor as a package deal. Their part number is PK15218254.

GM Parts list:

Resistor - p/n 15218254 $8.59*

Connector - p/n 15306069 $30.70*

Wiring harness - p/n 89019124 $20 *

You don't need to remove the glove box, just lay on the floorboard and look up under the dash. There's a 4-wire harness plugged into the resistor assembly (white plastic), in the bottom of the black heater blower shroud. Unplug the harness, remove two small screws, and pull down to remove the resistor assembly.

Good luck and merry xmass.

2006 chevy equinox water pump changed, intake gasket changed, thermostat changed radiator flushed still overheating. can rev car up and temp drops but let idle and it starts overheating again

Do the cooling fans come on ? Your vehicle should have two fans controlled by The PCM - engine computer energizing three different relay's for low and high speed .

My 06 Chevy Equinox is idling high. How can you reduce the idle. It's at 3,000 RPMs just sitting still.

The number one cause for high idle is an imbalance in air pressure, An engine that is idling too high may be caused by a faulty idle air control motor valve that has completely failed or that has simply become weak and is not functioning correctly. God-Bless!

Mis fire on cyclinder one and overheating for an 2005 Chevrolet equinox

You are describing the classic symptoms of a blown head gasket from the cylinder into the water jacket. This causes loss of compression in the affected cylinder and also injects hot gases into the cooling jacket resulting in overpressure and overheating of the coolant. Perform a compression check of all cylinders and if any are appreciably lower than the others, you are looking at some major engine work.

My heater motor only works on high

A bad blower moter resistor can cause the blower to default to high speed only. The resistor is
located behind the lower right side of the dash on the heater box just left of the blower moter.
The fan switch can also cause this problem, but more often then not it's a bad resistor.
Hope this helps.

Where is the fuel filter located on my 2006 chevrolet equinox?

For 2006 Equinox 2WD 3.4L SFI OHV
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?pageId=0996b43f8075dedf

For 2006 Equinox AWD 3.4L SFI OHV:
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?pageId=0996b43f8075dedf

Its the same for both types of Equinox.
The short story: the fuel filter is an integral part of the fuel pump, and 06 Equinox has 2 fuel pumps (each presumably with its own filter), due to the odd shape of its fuel tank.
Note: the last time I thought I had a car whose owner thought it was a fuel pump/fuel strainer/fuel filter promplem turned out to have a bad spark plug wire - it caused identical symptoms (engine missing alot, especially going uphill).

2006 GMC Envoy I6 HVAC fan stopped working. Level 5 stopped about 6-months ago and now it doesn't work at all. I checked all fuses and the cooling fan relay but still not working.

If high speed went out first, then it is the switch.
There is the most arcing in the switch at high speed.
If there was motor or relay trouble, it would effect all speeds.
If there were problems with the ballast resistor, it would effect lower speeds.

Why is the check all wheel drive light in on it is 2007 equinox

you have to take to dealership.they have to scan it.you could have a bad wheel speed sensor causing your AWD not to work right.your wheel speed sensor send information to transfercase control module to engage shift motors.
