fan blower switch

Can anyone please help me? I have a 1994 ranger xlt and the blower motor control has only one speed. Does anyone have any ideas why only I have one speed before I pull the switch out?
Thanks

If you only have high its the resistor, normally near the blower under the hood, two screws, also check the connector out they can also have problem.

Thank you very much for your help! The resister was bad and also I had to replace the plug for the resister because it was corroded and stuck into the resister. All the speeds now work!
What a great site people helping people!!

Hey, I have had this problem with my 91 ranger 2.3L 5 speed since I bought the truck 2 years ago. Can you tell me the exact placement of this resistor? I went two years with only high blower speed, and just tonight, I had to change the blower motor, and I'm sure it's because of only having the high or off settings. I am looking to sell this truck in the very near future (just my winter vehicle, very rusty, but has done me very well the past 2 years considering the $700 I spent on it) So yeah, any and all help would be appreciated, but mostly looking for exact location, and possible wire colors going into unit so I can be sure it is the correct part.

Thanks for helping, and sorry for bringing this old post back from the grave.

A picture of the location and unit would be great also, but yes, I know I am asking for a lot, sep. being a newbie!

The resister is located to the right of the blower motor and it has a plug with about 6 wires. I had to replace the resister which is attached with 2 screws and also the plug which was coroded onto the resister. Total price from the ford dealer was about $34.00 for the parts. Remember you will have to cut and reconnect the wires on the plug if that is cororded also.
Hope this helps!

Check the switch as well. The below schematic is from a Ford Serivce CD and is probably similar but not exactly the same.
