Isnt the fourth setting where the resistor is basically bypassed to allow full voltage to the fan? Id check the resistor unit first for continuity.

yeah what ciper said. I'd be willing to bet there is a problem with the switch not the resistor pack.

The resistor dealio is behind the glove box I do believe. I've lost 1 and 2 on my Brat. I'll have to go replace that thing one day.

if it's the resistor pack it's usually the other way around 1,2,3 don't work while 4 does. You can try unplugging the resistor pack. If you still don't get anything for four, you can probably assume it's electrical and switch related.
