Subject:Re: 89 Vanagon westy with AC my front blower fan runs only on high speed

There seems to be a little confusion about whether this is related to the
AC.  The AC has a blower in the back.  The front fan is for the fresh air
and front heater.
  As Dennis said there could be various faults with the front fan circuit.
I believe that you can swap the switches for the front fan and the rear
heater fan which are near each other on the dash.  This will help you
verify or eliminate the switch as the problem.
  The resistor pack on the front fan can be reached by removing the
dash...sorry.   :-)
With enough electronics skill and determination it may be possible to make
an alternate resistor assembly and attach it near the switch.  I have been
considering this approach to solve the problem of no low speed on my fan.
