Fan speed switch only works on #5

I have a strange problem with the climate control in my GMC 1500. The fan control does not work for speeds 1-4 but works fine on the highest setting of 5. The AC works fine and the air is cold on 5 plus I can feel cold air passively flowing when I have it on fan setting 1-4. There is also no fan motor noise on setting 1-4. Is this an indication of a malfunctioning switch (speed control)?

Thanks

    Has climate control. Selector has auto ,1,2&3. No matter where it is set in any of those positions it may come on or may not. When it comes on will work at all speeds, when not it doesnt work at any speed setting.

Call your local GMC Dealer and see if they have the climate control panel in stock. What happens is the circuit board on the back of the panel shorts out. The panel comes as an assembly and is very easy to replace. Don't go with a wrecking yard piece. I made that mistake once and it didn't work either. I got one from the Chevy dealer and it worked perfectly.

It most likely the speed control resistors, it is a modual that is attached to the air intake duct to keep it coil. On any of the lower speeds the current passes through the resistors and reduces the voltage to the blower motor. On #5 or the highest speed the resistor modual is bypassed.

2005 gmc sierra heater fan quit working. I lost the fifth speed months ago and a couple of days ago lost the other four, the first day the fan would come on sometimes while driving then quit after a while...

1-4 speed are the blower motor resister . It controls all 1-4 speeds, also it's under the passanger side dash around fan, the 5th speed runs off a fuse the is located in the fuse box. It's one of those square fuses , not the relays but fuses. The resister will run $15 and fuse $5 . Good luck. I have replace these before

Check the relais module located inside under the rh side of the heather box you can see the connector most of them need to be replaced as they burn out you may need to replace the blower motor as well,high amp draw caused by faulty bearings will overload the blower motor controller
