I drive a 2002 Prism (really a Toyota Corolla with Chevy stickers). The fan will work but only on full blast. There is nothing wrong with the heater or a/c, just the fan. Chevy gave me an owner’s manual that isn’t full correct because the picture of the fuse box, isn’t my fuse box.  
  
  
  
 I just need suggestions as to what could be wrong with it.

Its probably a bad blower speed resister block on your Prizm. Its a fairly inexpensive part around $30.00

Is it feasible to have this part fixed by my father?

Sure. It should be secured to the duct work near the blower motor. Typically held by one or two screws.

I just bought one for my 96 Dodge Van for less than $15 but I can’t find where to put it. I think I have found it but it isn’t like the one I bought.
