Fan only works on highest speed. Any suggestions as to what needs to be replaced?

    I would guess it may be the Blower Motor Resistor, it runs about $35 and is usually located behind the glove box near the blower motor.

    Thanks for the reply! I found it, accessing by simply unplugging the connector to the blower (under the glove box) and removing 2 screws. The resistor board slides right out.
    I found the replacement part here: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1188379

    I've ordered from this company before and recommend them. Assuming this fixes the problem, it will cost me $25.79 + $3.36 shipping :>)
