The heater fan on this vehicle only works on full speed. I believe there is a resistor in the circuit that controls the fan speed, but I have no idea where it is or what it looks like. I am fairly competent with tools but I don't want to take out the dash. Can you give me an idea what to do to replace this part, if indeed it is the problem?

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't expecting it so soon. I'll try to locate the device and replace it. Is this something that I could find at an auto parts store, or will it have to come from a dealer?

Your local parts store should be able to get it if they don't have it in stock.
