My 2001 Chevy Silverado extended cab
My a/c blower fan does not work on the first two
speeds. It does work on 3-4-5 speeds. Where do I need to start looking?
Does it have resistor strips?
JK:
Thanks for your question and visit.
Yes, the a/c system does have a blower motor resistor assembly under the passenger
side of the dash, next to the blower motor. That does sound like the most likely cause.
The resistor receives voltage from the fan control switch on the a/c control head, and
controls all speeds except HIGH. High is a different fuse and circuit.

Chevy Silverado Blower Motor Speeds Problem
Question: How do you replace the upper ball joint on a 2000 chevy Silverado z71 4x4 1500 ext cab
3door 5.3 engine can I press it out or do I haft to buy the upper arm.
3door 5.3 engine can I press it out or do I haft to buy the upper arm.
Answer: Yes, you can just replace the upper ball joint on your truck. It is
pressed in from the factory, so you will have to press the old ball joint out and
press the new one into the control arm. The best way to do this is to remove
the control arm from the truck. Since you have torsion bars and not coil
springs, you really don't need to support any weight on the front suspension,
but a jack or jack stand under the lower control arm aids in movement and
re-alignment of the components. If you don't have the required special tools to
do the pressing in and out of the ball joint, you could also just buy the control
arm, since it has a new ball joint installed already. Either way, it's not that
difficult of a job if you have the tools.
