Help with blower motor.

Hi, I have a 2003 f250 with the 5.4. I noticed my blower motor was only working on High so I changed the resistor. The plug was melted beyond use so I also spliced in a new plug. The problem I have is that the blower speeds seem wrong. There are basically 4 speeds. Speeds 1,2 and 3 go through the resistor and speed 4 (high) is direct to the blower motor. High works but when I change to 3 the blower speed drops by about 90%. Speed 2 seems exactly the same as 3 with no noticeable change in motor sound or airflow from vents. Speed 1 is very slow, almost nothing. I have since replaced the blower control switch on the dash. Nothing changed. I have also checked the resistance of the coils on the resistor. Can anyone tell me how much different the blower speeds are from each other on a stock 03 f250? I have searched every forum I could find and still have not found an answer. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks, Tim

Can't really testify on how it's supposed to be, but I've done the same thing minus the switch inside, and mine acts like yours does...

Mine acts just like yours and I figured it was the resistor bank and added that to my laundry list of things I need to do to the truck.


Subscribing in case somebody else figures it out first...
