Bad resistor at the blower motor?
Bad blower motor switch?
You have 2 problems. First, the blower motor running only on the high speed is caused by a defective blower motor resistor pack. Replace it. Second the fact that it is only putting out hot air indicates the temperature control valve is defective or stuck.
Either the blower motor fan switch is bad or the blower motor resistor pack is defective. It is more than likely the blower motor resistor pack.
It's the blower motor resister.A blower motor resistor controls the speed of the fan from low to the 2nd highest by going through a resistor block. The resistance changes on each coil, therefore changing the speed of the blower. high setting bypasses all of the coils and runs at full speed.You know yours has gone bad if it only runs on high.Read more: Operation_of_a_blower_motor_resister
Sounds like a bad blower motor resistor block.

blower motor relay
This is typically caused by a bad resistor. Could be the switch itself, but it's usually the resistor.
The resister for the 2001 prism blower motor drops voltage to the blower motor. This is how the blower motor runs at a lower speed.
What has happened is your blower motor resisor has failed. When you turn the fan speed switch those settings are resistances that "damp" the blower motor and it runs slower. When this fails, it just has full current to the blower motor. Sometimes these are called block resistors. That likely is the problem.
If the fan runs only on high then it is probably the blower motor resistor, and not the blower motor itself. This is pretty standard in any vehicle. It should be located somewhere near the blower motor. --------------------------------------------There are two circuits that power the blower motor. A relay switches between the two different circuits. The high speed circuit suplies battery voltage to the blower. when you set the blower speed switch to any other speed but high the current passes through the other circuit. The blower resistor is in this other circuit. Check the fuse that supplies power to this circuit, check the relay that switches back and forth between the two circuits. Check the switch. Check the wiring. A VOM (volt/ohm meter) is very useful for this type of trouble shooting.
It will be either defective fan switch, motor itself, blower motor resistor pack, blown fuse, or defective wiring. If the blower runs on high but no other speed, suspect the resistor pack.
Its not the relay, it is the blower motor resistor.
