Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

98' Ford - the Blower switch only works in high,I figure the switch needs to be replaced. Do I have to take the Hole Dash out or can the Heater control panel just be removed?

might be the blower motor resistor, I'm not sure on how much is involved with removal on a newer truck.

The blower motor resistor is usually mounted in the air flow of the blower. Once you find it, it is usually easy to swap.

Definitely the resistor, since on high, the resistor is being bypassed.
