Most likely your blower regulator is bad.

Does it change at all when you switch between the High, Auto, and Low buttons? If not, sunman is probably correct. The regulator is underneath the blower motor, which is under the wiper motor. I had a hard time accessing mine but it wasn't TOO bad.

I think it is the resistor. I had to replace both blower motor and resistor last month cost me about $420

Could be a few things

I would first check the Fuse in the seperate fuse compartment, if it is rusted or cracked might cause a problem, it is in a small plastic box toward the front of the engine compartment from the main fuse box, mine blew and caused my ac to not work at all

After that i would check the compressor, could have a short or even rotted wire casings

It does have a cabin filter, but it's ridiculous trying to access it if you have the passenger airbag. It's almost as hard as replacing the blower motor.

Dude, did you read my post? Specifically did you follow the link? That's not my signature, that's the link to everything you could want to know about where the blower, regulator, and air filter are. It's kind of hard to see, but the regulator is underneath the blower motor. Check it out. I'll post it again:
