Check your blower motor resistor. I would bet that that is where your issue is, assuming you checked fuses.

If you have ONLY the highest speed on the fan then your resistor is gone. Been there....done that a couple of times.

i was thinking something along those lines. but my unit is in the field now, i'm on midnights, so i haven't had the opportunity to check it out. of course this sort of thing has to happen on day 1 of 3 weeks in the field. hopefully i can get it taken care of asap.

thanks fellas,

12 bucks at the stealer, and its under the glove bock on the passenger side, push the seat all the way back and recline it, then lay on your back w/ your head under the glove box and you should see the wire staring back at you
