I blew a fuse for the fan,so tried replacing the fuse. Turned the fan on the fan came on,but only on the highest speed setting. It ran for about 3 seconds and then blew the fuse again. Any insight would be appreciated.

you may have a twofold problem here. the blower motor may be bad for one and the resistor for the blower may be bad as well. the blower motor and resistor are on teh right side of dash. see if you have power going to the resistor then to the blower....
