The blower motor resistor for the selection of you fan speeds is burnt out. It is located under the dash on the passenger side. Get down on the floor and look up under the dash on that side to find it. This is a pretty common failure mode of the heater system. Good luck!

I haven't had to replace one of these myself. My understanding is that you nearly have to stand on your head to see it up under there. LOL. Many others here have done it themselves so it shouldn't be too bad. Good luck!
