Hello -

I have attached the info you requested. . .you didn't specify which engine size so I went with a 3.8L VIN K. . ..(the VIN is the 8th digit of your VIN number)

I gave you the procedure on blower motor replacement. You most likely cause for the fan speed is the blower resistor is bad. I have also provided that for you.
