Two things , could be the blower resistor located near the blower motor, it has several wires going to ii and then to the blower, if not it is probably the switch

Well first you needed to check a blower resistor block, this regulates amount of voltage controling motor speed, this block is usually located close to bloer motor follow your wires to it, remove two 7mm screws an check, if is all rusty just replace it, if not back prove to make sure controller is sending signal to each speed, (test lite hook to a power sourse) you been looking for a ground signal. hope it helps and good luck

Gain room by pressing on right side of open glovebox. it should come off its hinges. just set it aside. you can see the HVAC box. Look on top of the HVAC box and a little to the left and you will see the blower motor resistor mounted snuggly. have a good day !

Why wont my a/c or heater fan come on?

When the blower works only on the high setting its usually a bad blower resistor which is right near the blower motor. now you say it would always blow high regardless of the fan speed setting that would indicate probably the climate control unit or a connector problem somewhere. finally it not working at all may be the climate control unit or connection went bad even further. it might have a blown fuse or a bad blower motor in addition to the climate control unit or connector problem .check for power and ground at the blower motor. the power is supplied from fuses and may have a relay also. the ground is supplied from the climate control unit and goes through the resistor to control the fan speed. good luck

My 02 Stratus heater only works on high. Any idea

Your blower resistor is bad. It controls the mutiple speeds to allow you to go from low/med/high. When it goes bad you get one speed or no speeds....It's about $20-$50 at any local auto parts store. It mounted directly to the speed switch or on the heater plenum unit on the passenger side behind the glove box....
