Default air conditioning problems

hello world,
i am having a problem with my blower on my a/c
my a/c is cold...the temperature settings are fine, but i am having trouble with the fan settings. Everytime i put the fan setting to off....the blower keeps blowing very high, and if i put it to auto, it blows low, or if i put it to low, it blows medium....


what could be wrong?

Unfortunately,

It sounds like the climate control panel needs to be replaced. I would check Ebay.

I almost forgot, it is easy to remove the climate control panel. basically, you pull back the side plastic dash. One thing though, be carefull because it scratches very easily and indents. I would use a butter knife type tool with no shrapt edges. A flat head will damage this in the 1gen. I had this happen with the dealer when i had the headunit replaced and I was very upset.
