I have a VP commodore. The aircon fan will only work on 3 or 4. Any ideas on how I would fix this

sounds like you could have a dry connection in the switch ... the quickest fix would possibly be to try and spray maybe some contact cleaner onto the switch but that may not work, or maybe replace your switch

Correct me if I'm wrong lol but I think *think* the switch is a resistor, otherwise known as a potentiometer.

No there is a resistor that can cause this problem. Bit of a pain to get too though. You know where your wipers are. That black plastic that runs along there. You have to remove that. Then roughly in line with the glove box you should be able to see a cap with two screws holding it in place. That's your fan resistor.

One of your relays under the bonnet is stuffed, which I found out after replacing the switch.
I had the same problem about a year ago in my VN SS.
The relay is about $40 and it fixed the problem.

I agree with 2fast2furiousdude. When you're fan switch only works on 3 and 4, then 99 times out of 100 it's your fan speed resistor. Same thing happened to my VS and it's the same design. I went to a wreckers and pulled one out of a VN for free. If it was a relay then it shouldn't work on any setting.
