New resistor fixed my issues mostly.

Went from say 5% then 10% then 10% then 100%

To more like 15% then 50% then 50% then 100%

Not sure why the 2nd and 3rd position seem identical in airflow and noise. Maybe the switch is showing some wear.

Mine is the same way. But at least it works on the other speed now.

When I fist got my Ex the fan speed was the same on #2 & #3 . I replaced the switch and it is good to go.

Here is a link for the Climate Control System Troubleshooting from the shop manual. It's for the '03 but might help you diagnose the issue:

Got a used control panel off ebay since mine was cracked in the thin illumination around the directional control. Anyways it came with all the switches as well.

I tried to clean the old switch and it exhibited the same issues as before without improvement. The new used switch works exactly as intended.

Many Thanks BigRondo!!
