If the fan speed control knob does not activate the cabin ventilation fan or only works at maximum speed, it means the resistor controlling the speed is damaged. One reason for this damage could be a malfunctioning fan, which may rotate excessively, causing the motor to operate abnormally and increasing power consumption.

The best solution is to replace both the resistor and the fan, or at least purchase a new resistor and disassemble the fan to clean and lubricate it, ensuring it rotates freely.
