Bad bearings? Along with the bad bearings probably comes enough friction to keep the motor from turning at the lower power settings. New motor shouldn't be more than $15-20.

If it only works at High speed then your blower motor resistor is shot...If you look under the hood, there should be a wire that connects to the motor and then a wire that connects to a 3 prong blower motor resistor on your HVAC housing under the hood. I would get a replacement from a Junkyard as I don't think you can get that new, well maybe from Ford.

Sounds like you will need a new Blower motor too... I replaced mine recently and it was $22.

The squeaking sounds like a bad bearing on the motor. Maybe it got hot and then burned up the resistor? I think that you need both parts.
