Eric, Experienced the same problem on my mother's car. There's an electronic module that controls the power going to the fan motor. Her motor got so worn that it shorted out and fried the module, too. The module will set you back about $150. To replace it, you need to remove the plastic covers below the windshield over the A/C intake. Then, remove the top portion of the firewall (one Torx T25 on the driver's side, one bolt w/12mm head on the other). The module's located low on the front of the A/C duct, on the passenger's side. Have fun!
