I had the heater on and switched it to high and I lost all speeds. I checked the fuse and it is OK. Are there any other fuses or relays I should check, if so where are they.

Hi:
You need to start at the motor and work back. Check for power to the motor. If power and the motor doesn't run, replace the motor. If no power, move to the blowermotor resister. If power in but not out, replace resister (most common problem). If no power in, move to the switch and see if there is power both in and out. If power in and not out, replace the switch. If no power in, you will need to follow the power supply back to determine where it's lost.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi,

Is the vehicle the same year, make, and model as the vehicle? Let me know.

Also, here is a link that explains in general how to replace the blower motor. If I can confirm this is the same type of vehicle, I can get you the specifics.

Let me know if that helps.

Take care,
