Fan blows nicely in positions 3 and 4. Is dead in positions OFF, 1 and 2. I suspect the switch needs replacing. Looking through Honda Service Manual, it looks like a bigger job than I'm eager for -- pulling about ½ the whole panel off. I'd appreciate any ideas. Quent
I had the switch break on an '87 Civic once and it wasn't all that hard to replace. However, when the lower fan speeds stop working and the higher speeds still work, the problem is usually burned out resistors rather than the switch. There is a set of 3 resistors in series that drop the voltage to the fan at the lower speeds. Usually the resistor pack is mounted close to the blower in such a way that the resistor are in the air stream. If you find them, ohm them out and see if any of them are broken. My bet is that the middle one is open.
(QDurham) floridly penned in I should add this to the FAQ. Your problem is a failed blower resistor. Remove glove box from dash. Resistor is in plain sight on vent plenum. Unplug, unscrew, replace. Job done. Very easy. You'll find the low-speed coils will be corroded and broken. A new resistor is about $50 at the dealer only.
I was hoping the solution was simpler than disassembling the whole front end of the car. Many thanks, people. Quent

behind the glovebox... much simpler. I can live with that. Again, thanks. The Honda manual sure makes it look vastly harder. Quent
(QDurham) floridly penned in The glove box comes off with few screws and one electrical connector for the light (if you have one). The resistor is in plain sight, and is held in by two bolts. Once you remove the glove box, you will see how easy it is.
It's not the switch, it's the resistor pack on the blower motor. I had the same thing happen on my '90 Prelude. Not a tough fix. I might have been able to replace it without pulling the blower motor out, but the brushes on the motor needed replacement, too (I found this out when I pulled the motor out for other service about a year ago). Honda says you can't replace just the brushes, but that's bunk. A friend who deals in a lot of various repairs and mods knew a source for the brushes, cost me $20, rather than a $300 motor.
It's not the switch, it's the resistor pack on the blower motor. Gotcha. Just ordered the out of stock resistor pack from local Honda people. $38. Many thanks. Quent
