    I dealt with the no low fan speeds for years, most of the time it worked. When they finally stopped working I did the updated circuit board and then the high speed didn't work. I pulled the switch panel from the dash and the high speed circuit was burnt. I had to replace the switch panel. Moral of the story is DO NOT wait to replace the circuit board in the fan motor...it will cost more money in the long run.

    Replace the probably burnt connector, wires and pins.

    Read through the thread below. I replaced the resistor and the connector and its been working perfectly since.

    Hey guys,

    I've read as much of this thread as I can. I'm sure I've missed something, but here's whats going on.

    A few months ago my 06 taco started doing the only works on high thing. Every once in a while working on all of the above. Then it went out completely. No blowing at all. I've unplugged the wires to the resistor, the third wire of course is burnt to hell but i cleaned it some, move it back, and replugged with no results. It seems like I need a new resistor but I wanted to know if there was anything I should do before I place this order on Amazon. Thanks in advance.

    -James

    Just guessing here, but it seems like you're experiencing both resistor AND connector problems. I'd replace both and see how it goes.

    I might have an extra resistor if someone is needing one. I just replaced mine, it still didn't work, low and behold it was the connector. I have not tested the old one out, but it looked to be in great shape, I would gladly pop it back in and give it a try if someone is interested. Not free, but pretty cheap.

    Cool, I'll test it this weekend. Don't know how to post a pic of air blowing, but I'll see what I can come up with.:rofl:

    With Christmas activities going on, I did not get to it this last weekend, but I will very soon.

    Time to join the club. On my way to my daughter's house on Christmas, and wouldn't you know it was HOT here in RI. I actually tried turning on my AC and noticed that my fan didn't work at any speed. Left it on high, and after a few minutes it kicked in. It worked at all speeds. On the way home, same thing. Fan didn't work at all, after a few minutes it started working. Next day, nothing. Since it was working intermittently for a while, I'm assuming the fuse is ok (I'll check it anyway.) Just started researching this issue tonight and ran thru all 11 pages. Since my fan didn't work on high only, I'm thinking my fan is probably gunked up. I will see what I can see tomorrow and check the resistor connector, wiggle wires, and do some percussion tuning on the fan housing to see what happens. I'm not very experienced with electric motors, but I'll see what I can do.

    Sounds like same issue as mine. Still haven't found the cause. But one good wack on the fan housing and it's been working since. (Knock on wood) .

    Here's my thread. Has some info in it...

    Solved my issue the same way. A good knock and it's been going ever since. Not sure how long it will last, but thanks to this thread I've got a pretty good idea of how to implement a more permanent fix (clean the gunk out of it). I'll leave well enough alone for now.

    Mine quit working on the other 3 speeds this AM and would only run on High.
    Made an appointment with local neighborhood wrench who was going to fix it this Friday, but went out and jiggled it and "lo and behold" it came back on all 3 speeds plus High!! Don't know if someone had touched it with their foot or.....???
    Anyway it is back on for the time being.
    Thanx TC!!
    Ya'll rock!!

    I'm new here and have read through this thread, but I couldn't find if anyone answered Hadoken's question. Perhaps I missed it. I'm having the same issue. My AC would come on intermittently, but now won't come on at all, at any speed. Could that be both a bad resistor/connector and relay? Or is it likely just the motor?

    Thanks!
