I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Sedan. A few weeks ago, the temp control knob only works on high. Both the heat and air work....but only if the fan is set on high. What might be the problem? Is it the switch and is it costly to repair?

Thank you.

Probably a bad blower motor resistor.

Most likely blower motor resistor it's located behind the glove box and should have like 2 wire connectors coming out of it resistors for various types of vehicles run from 20.00 to 150.00 dollars but can be changed yourself with a couple screwdrivers and a pair of pliers but if the Chrysler chop does it you got warranty unless the resistor goes again right away because the motor is drawing too much power

Suggested Repair

Replace the blower motor resistor behind the glove box. It is a common DIY repair; if a new resistor fails quickly, check whether the blower motor is drawing too much current.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2004 Chrysler Sebring said heat and air conditioning work only when the fan is on high. Replies identified a bad blower motor resistor, located behind the glove box with two connectors, as the likely cause. Parts were estimated at $20 to $150 and can be replaced with basic tools; a dealer repair may include a warranty, but early failure can mean the blower motor is drawing too much power.
