Ram air flowing through the evaporator does not provide enough air flow inside the vehicle for cooling purposes. So, a blower is used to force the air along. An electric motor spins a fan, forcing the air into ducts, which direct it to the particular vent selected by the operator.
If the blower motor gets full voltage, it will run at high speed, but that is not always desirable. Therefore resistors are used to cut the speed down. The fan switch directs the current flow through one or more resistors to achieve the slow and medium speeds.
