My hvac fan only works on high. Do I just need to replace the control panel or is there a fan resistor or some other part that has failed? Thanks

On most models, there's two seperate fuses for the blower motor. One fuse protects the high-only speed and the other fuse protects the lower speed circuits.

Check the resistors too. I had a GMC Canyon that did the same thing, and it turned out to be the resistors.

+1 I have just bought a Tahoe -01 LT and there is no air speed on 1-3 only on 4 and 5. Where are these fuses located and where are the alternators?

Im a total noob when it comes to these cars, have had mine for 1day.

Installed a new resistor and my blower still only works on high. Can it be the control panel?
