I'm not aware of any of our fan motors with 3 speeds. All the ones I've ever seen had just 2 speeds. There are 2 versions of those, but they are pretty much the same externally and work with the same switch.

There are some flexible flaps inside the airbox which can tear loose, making the fan pretty useless. If the flaps are in good shape, the fans push a good amount of air. The flaps let air bypass the fan if the car is moving quickly, but if the flaps are broken, the air just gets pumped around and around inside the box unless the car is moving fast, in which case, you didn't need the fan.
