Well as I assume it works on 1 +2 then you know you are getting power to the switch.
You either have TWO wires broken between switch and resistor or much more likely a duff switch.
Pull out the switch and use a short length of wire to manually feed the wires on position 1 +2, with the fan switch OFF, if these then work 100% perfect it is a dud switch, more likely than two wires breaking.
Would also be worth checking for any bad connections anywhere along the line.
