 Here's what seems to me to be an odd problem.  The main air circulation
 fan in my 1993 EV has four settings and suddenly the fan has
 stopped working in the first three positions.  The fan will now only
 come on in the fourth and highest position.  At that level it is really
 blasting, so for the fan is of limited use as it stands now.  I checked
 the fuses (even though I doubted that as the cause since it will run in
 the one position) and it appears to be fine.  I am having discomforting
 memories of some past postings on the list describing the maddening
 complexity of replacing the fan on a vanagon.  Anyone have any clue
 what might be causing this--short of a bad fan?  And if the fan needs
 to be replaced, has anyone had experience with this problem on the EV?

Don, what you need is the series resistor pack right by the fan motor behind
the glove box. It's a easy fix. I dought there's anything wrong with the fan
switch. Buy one at the dealer and install it yourself.  Lets us know when it's
fixed.
