Default 96 caravan interior blower only works on high

The interior blower in my 96 grand caravan only works when the blower speed control switch is rotated to the highest setting.

Does this sound like a problem with the switch itself or is there another place I need to look first? (The 40A blower fuse in the power distribution center is okay.)

Thanks!

Sounds like a blower motor resistor. Part # is 4677180AD and should run about $15 and is located at the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle under the wiper module.

Thanks for the recommendation--I'll go ahead and replace the resistor, and let you know how it turns out.

The resistor was indeed the problem--one wire had completely corroded off the breadboard. I replaced the resistor and the blower works like a champ. Interestingly, the dealer knew the exact part number by heart. Must be a common problem.

Thank you very much for the advice.
