86 GT. Settings 1-3 work on the fan when I have the heat on. Is this the blower motor or something in the intrument panel?

The top setting on the fan bypasses the resistor block and runs through the high speed blower relay under the hood. Check for power in and out of the relay. Power for the high speed blower comes from the fuseable link. More than likely your high speed blower relay is bad.

I had the same problem and just fixed it. The relay was bad.

Actually I think its called a rheostat, if it is the coil thing I am thinking of, if not forget what I said.

Nope. That's a multi-tapped power resistor. It might sometimes be called a ballast resistor.

A rheostat is a continuously-variable, usually wire-wound, power resistor that's value can be changed easily by turning a knob or moving a slider.
