Hi!!
The Blower Motor Resistor also called Manual Temp. Control resistor), is fried, replace. The price with floor console $25 and without floor console $65. here is a pic.
I only get the fan - 87b9810.jpg

the resistor is located on the blower motor housing, fastened by two screws. It is the part where the electrical plug connects, the plug on the pic. goes to the blower motor.
A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

The problem is the blower motor resistor, it controls the speeds, high speed bypasses the resisitor which is why it only works on high.

SOURCE: air condition fan only works on high speed, no low speed

You have a bad blower motor resistor. This is located under the dash close to the blower motor itself

SOURCE: 2006 silverado 5 speed heat, the high speed is not

The switch, high blower speed relay or the wire harness at the blower motor has gone bad. The highest setting 5 has no resistor, so the blower runs on high but the high current flow ends up burning up the switch's contact on that setting or the relay and may be the resistor wire harness at the blower motor has gone bad. Common would be the switch it self, if the switch is good. Then it's going to be the blower relay or wire leads at the speed resistor by the blower motor under the glove box by the passenger leg compartment. Keep me posted, be glad to help you get your Silverado running 100% again soon.

3 speed fan barely changes speed

You are talking about your blower fan for the air conditioner and heater right? More information will be needed to solve the problem.

When you say it barely changes speeds, does that mean it doesnt speed up, or doesnt slow down? By that I mean, is it "stuck" on low, or high?

Most blower fans run at different speeds through the use of a multi-stage resistor built into the fan switch circuit. Low speed is a high value resistor, medium speed is a low value one, and high speed is the fan running without any resistance.

If your fan is running on high and doesnt seem to want to run on lower speeds, the resistor pack may be failing. If the fan is running on low speed only, it may be that the fan itself is beginning to fail, or that the lubricant in it has gotten gummy.

My lower fan speed don't work except for the high, the fan high speed stay highest

Hello sanjuis24
It sounds like you've got a bad blower motor resistor. The resistor is located under the right side of
the dash at the blower motor. A new resistor is not very expensive and it's a fairly easy DIY.
Hope this is helpful

Fan switch only works on high

It is very likely that the blower motor resistor has burned out. The resistor uses several resistors to drop voltage which drops the fan speed. Since high speed requires no drop in resistance it bypasses all the resisitors. Since none of the lower speeds work I would belt that the resistor for the setting just under high speed has burned out out. since all the other lower speeds use that resistor. Sometimes they will also have a non-serviceable internal fuse that will blow.

A/c blower works, but only on high.

ITS THE SPEED RESISTENS THAT HAS BURNED,THE FAN HAS ONLY ONE SPEED , AND THE RESISTENS LOWER THE SPEED IN STEPS , GET A NEW ONE AND IT SHOULD WORK

I have a 2004 Pacifica and the blower motor runs on high all the time, can't get it to work on slower speeds

The high blower works off a relay in the high speed only so the fan switch is at fault on your vehicle
Replace the fan blower control speed switch which is the one you adjust the lower fan speeds

1996 Ranger 2wd interior fan blows hi spd only

Possible solution is to check the fan speed switch. These go bad and won't change the speed/ or function in the lower speeds.

Location of low speeds heater fan fuse & switch. I do not have a owners manual.

the switch is on the dash with the other a/c controls. does the fan work at all? high speed OK? but the lower speeds dont work? if any speeds other than high dont work, replace the blower resistor.

2002 Honda Odyssey fan only works at high speed. The A/C compress

Usually when the blower fan only operates on hi speed, its because of a failed blower motor resistor. You still have hi speed because on hi, the power going to the blower motor goes directly to it, as opposed to the lower speeds, when the power is routed through the resistor, thus lowering the voltage, which in turn lowers the speed of the fan. The resistor is usually located near the blower motor itself, under the hood back near the firewall.

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
