Well I would say that your problem blows but it doesn't so it's a problem. Sorry for the bad humor but I would venture to say that the blower motor resistor is bad. It's a cheap part if it's manual control but kind of pricey if it's auto temp control.

Humor is good in this day and age!!!
Thanks for the help. Kinda figured that it was resistor.. watched a video of replacing it. Doesn't look to complicated. Again thank you.. Ingrid

I'd like to give my 2 cents on the sending unit. DON'T buy OEM! In most cases, OEM stuff is as good, or better than, aftermarket stuff. That said, I have owned my 2000 Vert for almost 18 years. So I've been thru my share of sending units. I've even had them fail showing ZERO pressure! I've never had a factory sender go more than 3 years, tops. They either read high, low, or start leaking. GM needs to seriously consider sourcing a different manufacturer for oil sending units. Buy a real good aftermarket sender from NAPA, or other good Auto Parts Store. I finally went with an El cheapo aftermarket sender 4 years ago. Still works fine, doesn't leak, and has lasted longer than any OEM unit I've had, so far. Bought it at O'Reilly's. Hope this helps
