Blower only runs on high??

My interior blower only runs if I switch it to "High", doesn't matter if it is A/C or just heat/vents. I replaced the control switch in the dashboard, but that wasn't it. The only other thing I notice is that when I shut it off from high, I can hear the blower motor make a rumble like the edges are hitting something? Could the blower motor be the problem, or is there another control somewhere else that could be bad.

it's a 93 F150

Sounds like your blower resistor. A faulty resistor will cause one or more lower fan speeds to stop working, while high fan speed will work fine.

I agree that it's probably the resistors, but the noise may mean it's full of leaves. Pull the blower motor out & reach inside. If it's got leaves in it, pull the evaporator cover & evap core, and hose it all out. It'll give you an opportunity to recover all the pens & change that has fallen down your defrost registers.
