I have a Chevrolet Prizm 1998 and the heat and cooling system only works on the highest setting which is actually the fan setting. When I have it on any of the other settings such as low or med nothing comes out, it doesn’t work. I can hear it click on but nothing comes out. So when I’m driving depending on the weather I have the heat or cold air blasting out of the fan until it gets annoying and I turn it off. I’ve checked the fuses and they’re good. I have not checked the relays because I’m not sure how to do that. Any ideas? I haven’t taken it to a shop because I’m poor and don’t have a trustworthy mechanic and it works just not on low or med. Should I have this looked at? I don’t want to be causing any damage but it seems like it could be something simple.
