Default Blower only works on high

I have a 97 OBS f250, the heater blower only works on the highest setting. As far as I know everything else is in working order. As far as I can tell.

Also if the motor is going it can take out the Resistor, so i would make sure it's not causing the problem, change both if you need to.

Thanks for the input. I'll try the resistor first then the blower motor

Try cleaning the leaves & dirt out of the evaporator so the resistor doesn't overheat. It's easier than it sounds, and does NOT require discharging any refrigerant:

I've found that motors can often be revived just by oiling their bearings through the vent-tube hole.
