if ur heaters only work on the third speed then its the resistor pack. this can be found on the blower unit under the scuttle cover at the top of the engine bay if u like!

just had to do mine! if u lift the scuttle cover, u'll see the blower unit in the middle, you should see a few wires going into a connector block, thats connected to the resistor pack!

hope thats of some help!

I've had the same problem with mine.
The resistor works on first and second speed, the third speed is full power with no resistance. So that's indead your problem.
So that's why only
Here's a picture of the resistor pack:
