So, since I've bought my van off of the original owner, I've noticed my fan doesn't work at LOW, but works like a charm at every other speed.

Out of boredom I was watching a video [Link Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLOAMLAqzfA), it has some good information; for my 4WD buddies or people interested, this could help you out with buying a 4WD van or truck!] and the guy explains at about 17:14 for the timestamp on the video saying:
"If you have a blower motor that only work on high, it's the blower motor resistor. It runs through a couple resistors so you have a Low speed, a Medium speed, and a High speed."

Could this perhaps be my resistor/something related to the fan not working at LOW? This sounds like a simple but very useful fix since I do a lot of highway driving and since I have no A/C (This will be addressed soon hopefully) and I highly depend on my fan and windows for air circulation in the cabin. If anyone has any input please let me know as always!

No problem

Sometimes when you're looking for answers, it easier just to click on "archives" (bottom right hand corner of the page) and you can scroll thru the list,
rather than try to figure out what keywords to search.
