AC fan control switch issue

Hi all.
This is odd and I'm stumped. For some reason my climate control fan suddenly only works on positions 3 and 4 (med-hi and hi). 1 and 2 don't blow air at all.

I've check all fuses and found nothing. Is this in the switch or is it possibly a relay somewhere?

Thanks

What year is it. you might have a vaccum leak, but that diesn't quite make sence becuase if you did, all the functions would have stopped working. This topic has come up befor. just do a search for a/c.

Wintremute, I'd suspect you have a problem with the blower motor resistor pack.

It's a series of wire wound resistors, used to control the blower motors speed & located under hood, passengers side, in the heater air ducting, for cooling of the resistors wires.

You may have problems with the external electrical connections to the resistor pack, or more likely, a open circuit in one or more of the wire wound resistors controlling the two troublesome fan speeds.

So check the external electrical connections, if ok & you don't have an ohm meter, pull the resistor pack & check it & see if you can visually find a open wire.

Let us know what you find.

I agree with pawpaw on the blower motor resistor assembly. Just keep in mind that a bad motor will sometimes burn these resistors out.
