Buy one from salvage and replace it. Most are easy to pull off, often held in place by 3 medium sized screws. Also buy a new resistor pack for the heater circuit. About $10 or $15. That should give you back all speeds on the blower. To find it, just follow the wire from the blower connector back towards the blower switch. It should be close to the blower motor and under the dash, and screwed into the heater case where it can be cooled by air blowing through the heater case.

fords are notorius for faulty fan switches, you will need to get a new one, but it will probably fail in a year or two.

SOURCE: 1998 ford contour blower motor not working

I have a 1998 Ford Contour. Believe it or not the ABS and the Blower Motor share the same fuse. It's a yellow 60 amp and you have to take off the battery to get at it. Of course this happened twice in the 6 years I had the car, both times in the dead of winter. Tires Plus in Pennsauken, NJ replaced it. Other than that, no complaints with my Contour.

Look under the dash on passenger side and just to the left of the blower motor housing you will see the 4WD control module.Remove the 2 screws holding the module and let it hang down and your resistors are behind this.Remove the 2 screws holding the resistors and remove.
Now I am assuming you have manual climate control and not electonic.

SOURCE: My blower motor fan speed switch will work only on High.

I had a similar problem with my 03 Taurus. Does your floorboard on the passenger side get wet when it rains really hard? If so, Ford is aware of a defect above the fan motor which is behind the glovebox.
I contacted Ford directly and they had my local ford dealer fix it free and they gave me money towards a new blower motor which shorted out from the leak, it's possible it just your switch if there is no leak but you might need both the switch and blower motor replaced like I did. Hope this helps.

My defroster, heater and air conditioner doesn't work in my 2001 toyota echo no air comes out when I turn either one on help please

Try all fan speed settings to determine if you have air flow on any (particularly High speed). I don't know the specifics of your Echo, but typically high speed is a straight-through connection for power to the blower motor.
If high speed works but none of the slower speeds do, the issue is very likely the blower motor resistor or the resistor connector.
If none of the speeds work, there might be a bad fuse for the blower motor or the motor itself might be bad.
If you can hear the blower on all speeds but still no air is coming out the vents, the issue might be either a damaged diverter door that is not properly directing air flow or possibly something got sucked in to the blower motor squirrel cage and is severely restricting air flow. -Rod

My 1994 acura legend ac only works if i turn it on full blast

High speed only is caused bu a defective blower motor speed control solid state resistor. The resistor is located in the air ducting (for cooling) next to the blower motor under the dash on the passenger side of the car. Remove the lower dash panel to access the part. See picture below of resistor.
Cost for part is about $200.00

The ac fan motor in my 2011 Peterbilt only works on high......anyone else have this problem ?

I don't even have a 2011 Peterbuilt! ;)
But as in many vehicles when the blower only works in high its due to a bad blower resistor. The resistor is in operation on slower speeds and the motor gets full power and bypasses the resistor on the high speed setting.

As for where it is on a Peterbuilt, again I don't o0wn one so I can't say for sure.
It should be located near the blower motor as it uses the fan blades air to keep it cool.

01- Dodge Caravan AC Heater Control it only works on high none of the speeds work when I rotate the switch from low to high. Is this a swith problem or a motor problem?

Most likely neither. The most common cause is that an electrical device called the blower motor resister block, has failed. This device provides all the slower speeds. It is generally mounted in the HVAC [Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning] box, very close to the blower motor. FYI, we mechanics call the fan motor inside the cabin the blower motor. The electric fan motor behind the radiator is called the cooling fan motor.
If the resistor block is OK, then you have either a bad fan speed switch or a melted electrical connector at that switch. 95% of the time, the resister block is the problem.

The blower on my a/c quits working, then starts again, then quits...and so on?? is my blower going out or something unplugged?

if it does this on any fan speed it is most likely a bad blower motor, if it inly while on a certin speed such as full high or full low it could be the fan speed resistor located right near the fan motor, screwed into the fan housing

I have a 2004 Pacifica and the blower motor runs on high all the time, can't get it to work on slower speeds

The high blower works off a relay in the high speed only so the fan switch is at fault on your vehicle
Replace the fan blower control speed switch which is the one you adjust the lower fan speeds

Heater fan only blows air in the highest "on" position

Well it sounds like the blower motor relay is out you might also need a blower motor if it is using to much juice on high speed then the blower motor is probabley about to go out and with the noise you are describing it sounds like a bearing in the blower motor is about to go out so probabley should change the blower motor and the blower motor relay.

Heater fan only works on fastest speed

Your blower motor resistor has gone bad, it should be located next to your blower motor in the car, held in place with a couple of screws, remove it and replace it. The resistor is responsible for making the blower motor run at slower speeds than high or (4). Let me know if this helps.

1997 Pontiac grand am heater

If you are certain there are no blow fuses, that leaves two things I am aware of that could be the culprit.

1. Blower motor resistor. Its a component, located inside the blower motor housing on that vehicle. Though, typically, when this goes bad it usually only takes out one or two fan speeds, like maybe speeds 1 and 2 or it might take out the high fan speed, its not really known for taking out all the fan speeds at once, although it could do so.

2. That leaves the blower motor itself. I dont see many of these go out without giving warning, such as making some kind of noise, but again, its not unheard of for them to just quit.

I would make certain that all the fuses are good, even check fuses under the hood that may provide protection for the HVAC system or even the blower motor itself.
