Hi a new switch is often needed if you wiggle or push the switch and flick between 1.2.3. it may work for a moment, and identify your faulty part,

Hi Paul, since your blower only works on the highest speed setting, I'd replace the blower motor resistor. I believe that's the first thing to check in a situation like that and its pretty cheap to replace.

Just as GVK says, the resistor is on the heater box, it has some wires going in to it and is held in by a screw, if you remove the wiring clip and the screw the resistor should come right out. You put the new one in, screw it on, clip on the wiring and test for proper operation of the blower motor. Good luck with it and let us know how you get on
