It is so funny you just brought this up. I just had it fixed on friday on my 2001 alero. It was fixed under warranty so i didn't get charged.

got mine fixed on tuesday of last week...its the resistor if i remember right...my air only worked on 3 and 4....no 1 or 2.

It's a common failure on Aleros, and yep it's the resistor in the HVAC system. Usually only leave the 2 fastest speeds working for the fan. Got mine replaced under warranty too. I have instrux if you wanna do it yourself.

I had the same problem last year but I got it fixed under warranty.

See, you aren't the only one with that problem! I had to replace mine (out of warranty) last year, too. Actually, my boyfriend did it for me. The part is less than $20 from your friendly local dealer or auto store. Tell them you need a blower motor resistor, and they should know what you're talking about. It's about the size of a playing card.

From Molson:
1) Resistor is located next to firewall on passenger side, in part of the blower motor plastic housing assembly, on the downside part of the assembly that is toward the passenger's feet.
2) To get to it, you will need a 7/32 " socket. You will need a universal socket adapter. Trust me... you will need a universal socket adapter.
3) You will need to either be skinny, or hire a ten year old boy who can work tools and can bend his spine funny. (Actually, you can do it). You will need to open the passenger door, and lay on your left hip with your upper torso on the passenger floor.
4) Look up toward the fire wall. LOOK UP! You will see wires feeding the resistor via a connector. You will see two bolts holding the resistor in the housing.
5) Bingo! There you are!

Part #: 15359314
GM LIST: $23.88
WELLS DR774 = around $15.00

I have the same thing right now. Only works on high. Just have been too lazy to go and get the part. Plus, it's been so cold lately, that I can live with it only working on high!
