One speed blower motor
Well, I found out why I was only getting one speed (High) out of my fan/blower motor.
The low speed quit about a year ago. Then the second speed quit a few weeks ago. Enough was enough!
I did a search on the website. After the investigation, this is what I found:
The harness had a melt-down and the electrical connections had rusted.
Any suggestion on where to buy a new harness? Guess I'll just splice a new one in. The connector is really whipped! LOL
The new resister was a only $22 part from NAPA.

Some auto parts stores have the connector end of the harness with terminals and short pigtails on them. If you can't find one from a parts store try the dealership. They may have them or they can be ordered. It really surprised me that my local dealership had a new plug with terminals and wires for my 91 Ranger headlight switch when it melted down. It was reasonably priced too. If all else fails you may need to visit some bone yards.

Just found out something interesting.
I'm driving around without no connection at all to the blower motor resistor and I still get the third speed (high) to work out of the fan. Apparently another circuit controls the third fan speed.
