Sounds more like the speed resistor for the fan. The more the resistance, the slower the speed of the fan. High speed is a straight 12v connection. All the other speeds go through the resistor at various points to get the correct speed.
Heater Fan Works Only on High
My 1009 Passion Coupe all of a sudden had a failure of the heater blower except on high. After some research, I removed the fan speed controller, located towards the front of the housing, just above the filter, and there is a small resistor looking item on the top connecting the tow outward connections. This is apparently a fuse. I simply crushed it, soldered it so the connection is good, and the fan now works on all speeds. I will try to purchase a fuse, and replace this, but figuring out the characteristics with Smart of America's attitude may prove to be difficult. I think it is a 5 amp thermal fuse.
Any help or suggestions?
