Default Blower moter 1996 Monte Z-34

Wifes 96 Monte Carlo Z-34's blower speeds are screwed up. Only one speed and no #4, unless on Max air, then seems fine. YES, I'm a noob, but fairly mech inclined. Can I fix this myself, yes I tried to search, but to no avail.

yah the blower motor resister is a common part on chevy's, well anything older than a 2000, you dont see it happen too much on the newer vehicles yet...its just a plug in thing like a relay so yes it is something you can do yourself....i can't remember off hand where it is, i will check on monday for you...but someone may have already said by then

As a former Grand Am GT owner (1999 model), I can tell you that the blower motor resistor is not just a Chevy thing. 1999-2005 model Grand Am's have this problem big time. Fan speeds 1 and 2 are controlled by the same resistor. In the 8 years I owned the G.A. I had to replace the resistor 4 times. Other GA owners on GA forums have similar experiences. Hopefully, your wife's Monte Carlo won't give you the same problem we had on the GA's.

Welcome to the forum BTW.
