The smaller coils have the highest resistance.
The smallest coils control the slow speeds. The smallest coils rust out and
break first. For this reason you lose the lowest speeds first.

I think the largest coil has the highest resistance, and therefore its
for the lowest speed, no?

Which speeds remain depends on which resistor wires break. There is one
coil for each speed (the smaller the coil, the slower the motor runs).
The coil is behind the glove box. Have a peek. If a coil is broken, it will
be abundantly obvious.

88 CRX DX. Heater fan blows fine on every speed but #1. 2 thru 4 are
fine. To those who know: Could this be the resistor? (I thought
resistors were an all-or-nothing affair leaving only the highest speed
upon failure.) Or is it the switch? Thanks.
