It has taken me 3 different people and 2 different problems, let's begin
I own a 2000 VW Beetle 1.9TDI, My fan stopped working on me. I would twist the knob for fan speed 1-4 and nothing worked. My A/C light turned on, but no fan. not any of the speed would work and what I have read was, if your blower resistor went out, fan speed 4 will still work while 1-3 won't. So I take apart my glove box and replace my fan motor. HA, problem solved. For my friend who has 2000 VW Beetle 1.8t, Her A/C light never came on on any of the speeds. went to a junkyard and bought the A/C Heater switch for $10. Put it in and it worked! The same thing happened to another friend and I was able to diagnose the same exact way.
So, If fan speed 1-3 is not working, but fan speed 4 is; that is your blower resistor
If fan speeds 1-4 is not working, but your A/C light still comes on, then it's your fan
If fan speeds 1-4 is not working and your A/C is not lighting up. It is the heater fan switch
