Should be a fanspeed resistor in the HVAC plenum near the blower motor,test it for power in, and out with a test light.They are usually the problem, as long as all fuses are good

Sorry, looked up wrong year. That speed signal comes straight out of the controller. Do oyu have power at the orange wire? Is the black wire grounded good?

Yes have power at red wire and good ground on black wire, now the middle wire is light green when test light it put on it , it has very low power cause the test light glows very dim.

Does it change with fan speed? (brighten up)

nope no change. I know this is perplexing sorry for all the trouble

the speed control comes right out of the programmer(behind right side of instrument panel), If light doesnt change, then it is most likely the problem
