If the cabin ventilation fan does not activate or only works at maximum speed despite adjusting the speed setting, the resistor controlling the fan motor speed is likely damaged. Replacing this resistor is straightforward, and the part is easy to obtain.

The resistor is located near the cabin fan motor, directly behind the central console of the dashboard. You can access it easily from the passenger side by removing the side cover of the tunnel.
