Unhappy Heater fan only works on level 4

Strange thing happened after I started my 95 850 after it sat for a couple of days. When I wanted to turn on the fan to clear the fog from the windshield, only setting 4 worked. setting 0, 1, 2 and 3 nothing happens. It was working fine prior.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Edward

Could be the blower motor resistor.

I second that -- blower motor resistor. I had my mechanic replace that because of that same problem.

Agreed; a reason why I only stay here and not bother going anywhere else (not only for Volvos but for all other makes/products as well).
