Hi everyone I am new and I am in the land down under. Just purchased a second hand xterra I believe you call them in the states. (xtrail down here) Destroyed my 2010 subaru? I would be grateful if anyone could explain why the blower fan only works on setting 4. I am a comms tech but find this unusual. And what to pull out to get to it I was thinking it must be a pot.? Checked the fuses already got the head audio out due to putting in the bluetooth for mobile phone. Why does it work at all 1,2 ,3 I would love to know. Regards.

If you're handy with a soldering iron, this thread explains how to repair it.

They generally fail when airflow is restricted in some way... possibly a very dirty cabin air filter if your model has one, or a failing fan motor.
