Question:

Hi, I have a 1998 Explorer (UK Spec) and the heater fan now only works on the maximum setting (at max speed). Settings 1,2 & 3 do nothing. Any ideas what to check before I pull the dash apart? Cheers Chris

Replace the resistor pack.  On our Altima (yeah, I know oranges and apples), it was located inside the heater core and cost about $35 for the part.   Zam

It is most likely the resistor network that controls the fan speeds.

Response:

On the explorer the resistor pack is under the bonnet next to the fan
