You need to replace your fan switch, This is located in you dash compartment, You have to remove the dash and unplug the switch that is pluged into the lever that changes the speed, You may be able to spray some wd/40 in the connections and it may just need connections cleaned, bes of luck to you.

Hello
most likely it is the blower fan resister, to check it you need to remove it from the blower fan housing located on the passsenger side under the dash with a test light you need to probe each one of the coils on the resister while moving your fan speed fron low to high at each setting if it dont light up then it is the resister if it does then it is the fan
Good luck
Chris

My 03 galant has an electrical issue. My heater and air conditioner work just fine but the fans stopped working. What could be my problem

if the fan still works on highest setting only the fan speed resistor block is faulty.
if the fan doesnt work on highest setting check for power at fan while on highest setting with globe test light, as well as checking fuse for fan. 2 wires one power other is earth. if power is there the fan motor needs replacing so long as the earth wire is also ok check with voltmeter on Ohms for continuity should be a couple of Ohms any higher is no good.

My fan heater only works on the highest setting 6

Hi. This will be the result of a failed resistor switch. the switch controls the current level sent to the blower motor. Once replaced, the motor will operate at your desired rate. This switch is an integrated part of the AC/Heater control cluster, that is mounted in your dash. You will need to remove the trim, and cluster assembly to expose the damaged switch.

Why would my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee only blow luke-warm to cold air when the fan is on high? First the heat went on the highest setting, so i used the second highest. Then it started to coll as...

Sounds like you need a blower motor resistor located down under dash on pass side next to blower motor. This is a comon problem and I have changed many of them. thats just the fan speed problem. Ive seen the blend doors break easily on those jeeps. thats inside the heaer core box and moves the flap from hot air to cold air. If it is stuck halfway -or mostly to cold- you may only get luke warm air. If they had the heater core out-maybe they possibly broke it.

2004 elantra heater control only operates at #4 setting

If # 4 is the highest fan setting it might be the resistor pack that controls the fan speeds.For each speed increase the fan switch takes a resistor out of the resistor loop The highest speed is a direct connection to the battery. The switch is usually located very close to the fan since it gets quite hot and needs to be cooled by the fan.It is also generaly accessible from under the hood,but not always.Sometimes it is under the dash Hope this helps.
