Yes, the way the AC fan (ventilation, not radiator) works is that there are resistors (a pack for each fan motor) that reduce the voltage so as to lower the fan speed. I believe the resistors are up next to the fans. In otherwords, a real pain to get to.

However, go to the back driver side pillar and check the connectors back there. In order to gain access to the resistors, you'd have to take that panel off anyway.

However, if BOTH fans are behaving the same way, then you should check the wiring before the resistors, not the resistors.
