My heater only has two settings off and really low, I thought it would be the heater resister relay but that didnt help. Any ideas what to try now? Shouldnt be the fan if it blows right?
 
Could be a wore out fan motor. Try running a straight hot line to the fan, if it blows strong, then I would bet on the switch itsself.

I'll try that, I figured if the fan worked all It would be fine. Thanks
 
Whats Up Cochino12 You Refered Me To This Site From Full Size Chevy Thanks Anyways Im Pretty Sure It Is The Blower Itself I Work At A Chevrolet Dealer And This Problem Often Usually If Its The Switch It Will Run Off Or On High Sounds Like The Motor. Chk It With A Hot Wire Like The Other Guy Recommended. If It Blows Slow Replace The Motr If Blows High Replace The Switch Good Luck . How About Some Help On My Question About The Shocks On My 88? Thnks

Hey man I didnt even see this post. I replaced the blower and it's really not any better. The switch was replaced just a little while ago, I am so frustrated with this damn heater, and it's cooold too. I missed the question about the shocks?

my bad ok i just pulled my spring set and the springs are fine, i noticed that someone removed the ground wire from the blower motor housing screw to the firewall screw! so im making one for it now and gonna see if i have fan speeds then

i bet i do

check for your ground wire on yours, make sure screws are tight around blower motor
 
Adam...have you tried replacing the fan motor relay mounted on the a/c evap box...behind the accumulator on the evap box....

BTW: Can't have the 2wd i located in montrose...

I had the same problem with mine. After replacing the motor, switch and relay it ended up being the resistor. Works fine now.
