I have noticed that the 1st fan speed seems basically non-existant. I can feel a tiny bit of air coming out. Click it up to the 2nd speed, and it feels as though it made a jump 2 or 3 times as high as it should have. I think 2, 3, and 4 are correct in the amount of air they move and 1 is not.

Here is what I know so far:

• 1st fan speed puts out virtually no air. I can feel it, but barely.
• Hitting the recirculate button will stop the air on 1 all together.
• If I come to a stop and am only idling, the air seems to stop moving as well.
• All other fan speeds seem to behave normally.
• Same behavior if the A/C button is depressed or not.

Anybody have any ideas?

 

Sounds like the Blower Motor Resistor, easy fix.

 

Would that be covered in my Haynes manual? How much is the part?
