Your temperature blend door may be stuck or the cable may be broken. Does the blower motor stay on all the time?

Your blower motor relay isn't working is what I'm guessing it only blows on high all the time right?

It's the resistor block I think that's the name of it I can't remember right now I'm blanking haha but if it goes out the fan defaults to high speed it's weird that it's on all the time though but that's where I would start

Blower resistor.

Replacing the blower resistor will most likely return your fan speed control to normal, but it will not reduce the temperature of the incoming air. Be sure the temperature control cable is properly connected to the blend door crank arm as shown in the images below:

Just look under the dash - near the glove box.
