I have replaced the blower motor resistor under the hood and the actual fan switch on the dash. Speed #1 still does not work, 2,3 and 4 are fine. any suggestions?

Your different speeds are controled on the ground circuit. The red wire with orange tracer from blower resistor is ground for the low speed. With the settings on low speed, check continuity to ground. If you have continuity, suspect the blower motor. If no continuity, check the wiring circuit.
