    When i am setting the rotating fan button to position 1 and 2 there is
    no air coming out of the vents. But works perfectly at position 3 and
    4. Now, the question is, couls this be a problem with the rotating
    button or a problem with the motor?

    Thanks for any help.

    I had a Toyota do this years ago. Turned out that the fan speed
    switch was selecting different resistors that altered the voltage
    to the fan, thus adjusting its speed. The resistors were mounted
    in the air flow, presumably to cool them. In any event, the low
    speed resistor (the highest value) had burned out. Repair was a
    simple replacement of this component.

    Since the fan works on 3 & 4, it is unlikely that there is anything
    wrong with it.

    It's a problem with the "rotating button".

  4. Definitely a blower resistor, should run about $35.00 US at a dealer
