Probably the resistor pack (on the front of the fan motor under the squirrel cage) needs cleaning/replacement. Position 4 (highest speed) works by bypassing the resistor pack, the other three go through it.

Same problem here. Looks like PO has bypassed it on mine as there's a wire running straight to the fuse box which makes the fan work on high. Got a link/price for a resistor pack ? Never heard of it, don't know what to look for.

it's under the cover over the blower motor. you don't need to take the wiper arms off.
it's about 4 inches long with a 5 pin connector on one side and what looks like 4 small spools of thread on the other side.
the front of the cover is in a lip that runs from fender to fender. roll it back, take the 2 screws out, unplug the connector.
you might try cleaning it in white vinegar for 15-30 min then rinse off.
may save you $165 from the dealer.

I used to live in Bethpage. Had a friend Steve Fisher in Levittown. Lived on Meander. Think he's about 35 or so now. Know him?

I replaced the fuse and the heat worked however once I tried the a/c the fuse blew again. Why are the fuses blowing?
