no low speeds on AC fan

Check the blower motor resistor located on the passenger firewall near the blower motor mounted horizontally on the plastic case. It helps to post the model year when asking questions. It shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Sorry, year is 1981. Don't think fuse because high works, just the lower settings between off and high missing.

Not fuse, resistor. Maybe the '81 doesn't have a blower motor resistor but I would be surprised if it didn't. Even my newer cars have one for the blower. It's the different resistance levels as you switch speeds that turns the motor at different speeds. If the blower motor resistor goes bad you will have off and high only.

resistor
I found resistor under hood and removed it. The connector pins are crudy but I got a reading through them and the wires on the bottom look good. Could the switch contacts go bad on low speeds and maintain high?
