This is a fairly common issue with these cars. The fan will work in high speed mode when the A/C is turned on, but low speed never kicks on. I've heard of people jumpering it and getting low speed to kick on, but that's only while testing it. Up until a few weeks ago, nobody had a remedy except for hard wiring it to a switch and manually turning it on from inside the car. Then someone figured out a way to bypass the ecu and it functioned normally. Then... member "Noneone2" figured the whole thing out! It's the high speed relay. I know, why would the high speed relay be bad if the fan operates in high speed and not low speed? Because a faulty high speed relay leaves a circuit open on the low speed side that prevents it from operating in low speed mode. Here's his explanation:

After studying the wiring schematics, in the Bentley, it shows the if the high spd. relay doesn't function properly it leaves the circuit open to the low speed side.
