F150 climate control fan stuck on one speed

I've asked on a Ford Forum, but they are much slower at responding...

2013 F150 3.7 EcoBoost

My heating/air conditioner fan is stuck on one speed, and when I turn off the fan it goes into high mode.

I've checked the pin connectors and the power and ground provide good voltage. When I test the speed control and ground, the voltage gets lower the higher the fan speed, which I think is the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

I've changed the blower motor resistor, but no change in the fan. Where do I check next? The blower motor?

Depending on the price and how long it would take, I might change it to rule it out. But it sure seems odd that lower voltage would cause higher RPMs.

Maybe the blower motor speed controller.

Thanks everyone. That was one of the videos I watched to figure out how to change the speed controller.

I ended up unplugging the blower motor itself and tested the pins going to it. They were all fine. I plugged everything back in, said a few choice words and headed to get groceries.

When I got 1/2 way to the store I realized how hot it was and that my fan was off. Thinking the worse, I held my breath and turned the climate control on, and to my surprise, it worked as expected! All my fan speeds are there and the original parts are back in. I was able to return the replacement part (thankfully the guy at the parts counter was proud of me for trying to figure things out with a deployed hubby). I figure that something must have been loose and re-seating everything worked, for now at least.
Thanks for all your help!

I had a similar problem with my last Ford vehicle where fan would only work on one speed. It tended to be intermittent so I replaced the blower motor speed controller and it solved the problem for good
