Blower fan speed

Hi Folks:
The blower fan on my 95 Taurus Wagon seems to have no speed control. It runs steady at its' slowest speed and is not effected by the speed control. I pulled the resistor pack out of the shroud and it is fine and the thermal fuse is good. The 30A fuse is also good.
This has been in a accident. Could there be something else involved?
Thanks!
Harry

If the car has been in an accident, did the repair involve getting into the dash? If so, then the control lines to the dash switches and knobs may have been incorrectly reconnected.

The blower fan speed is controlled by the switch and a resistor. How did you test the resistor? It sounds to me like the resistor is faulty. :sunglasse

Hi:
I only needed to take the glove box off. There is a control box for the air-bags I needed to fix. Something might have been pulled. I guess I'll need to remove more of the dash.
Thanks

Hi:
I tested the resistor with an ohm meter. I think all of the resistors were less than an ohm. It wasn't a chip device like I've seen on newer vehicles. This was a wire, maybe cupron, coil array. There was a small thermal fuse there also that was good. Something may have been pulled/jarred in the accident. Both airbags were blown.
Thanks for the reply.
