Likely the blower motor resistor needs replacement. It's a weak spot on these cars.
It lives under the blower motor cover - accessible under the hood.

Your blower goes to 5???20% Accurate
Morty: Well Summer maybe people that create things aren’t concerned with your delicate sensibilities you know? Maybe the species that communicate with each other through a filter of your comfort are less evolved that the ones that just communicate? Maybe your problems are your own to deal with and maybe the public giving a shit about your feelings is a one way ticket to extinction.

It's nothing but solid state coils. It doesn't go bad like a traditional resistor. What happens is oxidation builds up on the contacts to the point nothing works except full speed because this bypasses the resistor pack. Resurface the contacts with scouring pad, sand paper, etc. clean it all up and you'll be fine. Also clean the blower motor as best as you can since you are there."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
