If you are talking about the early 99 which is the MK3 style then I can point to the switch that you are turning on the dash. Poor design which will melt the contacts and cause overheating. You can remove the button by pushing a tab on the bottom and look at the contacts. Turn the switch and push on the copper contacts and see if you get any other speed. Watch out the contacts get hot. The other choice would be the resistor pack located in the heater assembly behind the glove box.

Why does my jetta a/c work the not work

Happy New Year. My name is Phil. My heater for my VW Jetta 1999 2.0 automatic doesn't work. The blower works but not hot air. Blows dirt and part of foam. Did I need a new heater? Or is there something else wrong? Also a clagging sound when I turn the car on but once the car is warmed up the clagging sound stops. The car runs good but worry about the clagging sound. Thanks.

Heater fan blower only functions on high speed?

the resistor for the blower motor is faulty, its either integrated into the switch (speed selector) or its on the firewall somewhere, where ever it is, it has to be replaced.
