Car air-conditioner problem

I don't know if Civic-EG.com is the right place for this. While driving yesterday, my air-con unit stop working, it was set at level 1. :? But when I switched it to levels 2, 3, & 4, it was working fine.

I'm not familiar with this, could this be just the switch or a bigger problem?

Yes, at #1, the fan doesn't come on. The fan only starts to blow with cold air at numbers 2, 3, 4.

I believe this pic is from a 96-00 civic, but 92-95 should be similar:

I found this a/c circuit diagram for EG civics. Maybe this would be of help to us. :)

- Sun Feb 09, 2014 4:58 am #342395 I opened the resistor block of my sedan's air-conditioning unit and true enough, the resistor for #1 was broken. I just connected the cut end to the terminals and it worked. I just don't know how long will that hold. The resistor wire is the already brittle. I'll just buy a new one if it breaks again.
