pull the switch and run an ohm meter against it. if the lower speeds show no connectivity (probably the case) there is your problem.

The other thing to check is the connectors at the back that go up to the blower motor (left rear most pillar). You may find that they look burnt, in which case your problem could be corrosion on the connector, and only with a high current is power making it through (not a good situation).

But the first situation is your most likely case.
