Yukon a/c blower doesn't work on low settings

My 2000 Yukon A/C fan only works on the higher settings. Level 1 went out months ago, now level two isn't working. I get air pushed out at level 3. Is it the switch or motor?

I really think the Blower resistor is at fault.
It is located on the Passenger side, directly next to the blower motor.
It has a 7 or 8 wire connector from controller,  and then the 2 wires coming out for the motor.
They are VERY common problem.
2 small screws holding it in.
easy fix.
Part SHOULD cost in the $40-$50 range Depending on which Auto parts store you go to, Auto Zone will have this part and can give you the step by step instruction to get the job done. 
Hope this helps.
Good Luck

2000 Chevrolet Impala blower motor work from 1-4 but not on 5th speed why?

The blower motor relay is energized when the Blower Motor Control is set to the High position. This removes the blower motor resistors from the circuit and battery voltage is then applied directly from the HVAC BLO fuse (RH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) to the blower motor though the relay switch contacts. The blower motor then runs at high speed.

HVAC Blower Controls Circuit Description
The blower motor is a variable speed motor. The motor operates at a higher rate when voltage is increased to the maximum level.
The blower motor resistors reduce the voltage supplied from the A/C FAN fuse (LH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) when the blower control is set at low and medium speeds (speeds 1-4). The blower motor relay is energized when the Blower Motor Control is set to the High position. This removes the blower motor resistors from the circuit and battery voltage is then applied directly from the HVAC BLO fuse (RH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) to the blower motor though the relay switch contacts. The blower motor then runs at high speed.

Blower motor doesn't pump well even the fan switch on high

sounds like blower bearings are dried out and will eventually lock up the blower..sometimes you can spray wd40 in the blower bearings and it will work fine for a while.. also check vacuum controls to the baffle dors in the ductwork..may have some leaks there.. should hear a slight hissing if really bad..repost findings

2000 Pontiac Grand AM little heat being produced.

1st thing to do is change the thermostat. It is either missing, or stuck open (you provide good info). This is why the car is not running at operating temp and why you have little heat. The no blower for settings 1-4 probably means a bad switch.

My 2000 GMC Yukon 2WD's heater fan now will only work on level 5. First level went awhile ago and every couple months since another one would go. Once level 5 is gone I aint got no heat no mo ! Help !

There is a resistor down below the blower fan on the inside firewall of the passenger side. Advance or Auto-zone carry them and they are not hard to replace or very expensive. You will have to have a small socket though. I am not sure it is a 6 or 8mm.

You will see a long plug about an inch and a half that goes into it. When they burn out you only get high as a default.

Hope this helps.

check the brake fluid level, if its low, there may be a leak, if the level is good, the master cylinder is bad.

Fan works on Full Setting ONLY. 98 pathfinder

there is a ballast resistor that should be next to the blower motor that controls the low speeds on the blower. change it and you should be all set.
