Hello,
becouse the fan selector speed switch works only on speed 3-4 and 5(leeving speed 1 and 2 inoperative), I beleive that one or more of the resistor in the "resistor-bank iis either burned or opened.
Would you kindly direct me to the location of the resistor-bank?
. And if I am wrong what other could cause the malfuncioning of the "speed control swith"?
Thank-you

Yes the problem is a burned up resistor. The new resister is redesigned to be alot more resistant to heat. Its located under passengers side of dash right next to the blower motor

I have already checked behind the glove compartment by the blower fan with no success!
Could you be more specific?
Thank you again.
