1-2 fan position not working.
 
Hey guys. I got one for you. my fan dosent work on the one or two position, but it works fine on three and above. do you think it`s the switch or could it be something else.

Same Problem
 
Had same problem on my 99 silverado. I had to buy a part that was located near the inside filter kit at the passenger floor board. I changed that and now mine works on all settings. Part came from auto zone an was about a 20 minute fix.

It's called a blower resistor - since we usually use 1 & 2 the most they will burn out first.

thank you i`ll check it out.

Not to hijack it, but is it the same part on my neighbors 2004 Tahoe? he lost 2, 3, and 4

Could be. The ones I have seen are wire wound resistors and each position (fan speed) has a resistor or a combination of two. As was said earlier, the fan speeds that are used the most are the first ones to burn out. If a combination of resistors are used, one resistor could take out two speeds.

Don't the 2004's have the electronic display with a bunch of lines instead of 1,2,3,4 like the older trucks? I know my wife's 2003 Tahoe has all the lines so there are a lot more than just 4 speeds.

Well I fixed it. I went to autozone and twenty-five dollars later it was fixed. The blower motor resistor controls all five speeds, But only some of it quits. about 15 min. to do the repair.

Hi Guys-My AC blower started working only in HI. Have a 98 Silverado and replaced the RESISTOR inside the blower motor under the dash. It worked a few minutes, then quit. Any suggestions? Clarence
