The 2 higher speeds run off a separate fuse from the 2 lower speeds.
This fuse also powers the compressor clutch and the radiator fan low
speed when A/C is on. This fuse is very important obviously.

The fuse in question lives inside the lh rear pillar cover. It is really
a bare metal strip screwed at each end to the base of a relay holder in
that area. The metal strip is the fuse. That immediate area is prone to
cooked wires so look at it carefully even if the fuse is good. Use a
voltmeter to check the fuse and the wires.
