heat? Full BLAST!!

heat? Full BLAST!!
97 Pontiac Grand Prix
A few weeks ago, when I turned on the heat..nothing happened. I tried speed 1, 2, and finally speed 3 before it kicked in.
Next week it would only work on speed 4.
And finally, this week it is full blast or nothing at all. You can't have a conversation in the car because the heat is loud!!
What could be causing this??

Sounds like the resistor pack which controls the lower speeds went out. The default is high speed. Usually they are easy to replce. One connector and two screws. Not sure where it is located on your car, but is usually mounted near the blower. If you follow the wires from the blower, they should lead you to the resistor pack.

GM now calls them blower motor modules, they are a circuit board that are prone to corrosion brought on by moisture. It is located on the passenger side under the dash, next to the blower motor. You will need to remove the insulator panel under the glove box to gain access. There are 2 or 3 7/32 headed bolts that hold the resistor/module in place.
