My A/C Heater blower started working intermittently.  Only the first 3 fan
speeds now work.  When it works the first 3 speeds work well.  I was told it
might be the resistor card so I just completed putting a new one in and the
same problem exist.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks, Robert.

Has the dash switch itself gone bad? I assume that you have checked the
fuses as well. We had a similar problem on our SL2, it was a faulty dash
switch.

The fuses are fine.  When this first happened the a/c/ was on max and
working fine.  When the car was restarted in this state a few minutes later,
no blower.  It makes me wonder if it is the switch but I am not sure how to
get the switch out yet to look at it.

I had a fault in the blower motor that caused a high current. The fuse did
not blow but the heat caused damage to the fan speed switch and intermittent
operation. Also burned a couple of connections in the harness behind the
radio ('01Lw300). The harness wasn't anything that had to be disconnected so
I cut the wires out of the harness one at a time and soldered them together
directly.

Thanks Oppie.  I took the switch out and by disconnecting and reconnecting
the wires I could make the blower work except for speed 4.  I will replace
the switch.  I assume it is the whole component that is replaced and not an
internal swithc.  Thanks for your help. Robert.

I was a bit bummed out to have to buy a entire hvac panel when all I needed
was the fan switch - somewhere about $150 as I recall :-(  To make matters
worse, the new panel tried to put the A/C on when the mode switch was in
floor heat position. I was going to troubleshoot it and never got arround to
it. I did the repair in the summer when floor heat was not needed and didn't
realize the problem for several months - too late to get an exchange...
