If i put it on this setting the air con will work, but full blast. even if i put it on 'auto' it will only put full blast not a little bit.

anybody know what the problem is? or what to do?

thank you'se :)

You have probably blown the resistor bank which controls the cabin fan speed. The lowest fan speed uses several resistors to break the voltage to the fan motor. THe next fan speed up shuntsout the first etc until eventually you have no resistors dropping the voltage to the fan. If any of these resistors burns out, you have nothing until you get high spped on the fan setting.

The resistor bank is bolted into the bottom of the fan housing, located on the L side of the car, above the passenger's feet.

If teh A/C started working again, it must be a lousy connection somewhere. I would check the connections to the blower fan motor L side just above passenger's feet. If these are OK, then the crook connection is somewhere4 else. Best of luck with that then...
