Icon2 A/C doesn't work on low

Hey!

I'm planning to buy a 1998 Honda Civic, but it has one problem; The A/C only works on 3 and 4(high), 1(low) and 2 doesn't work. It just doesn't activate on low. Doesn't sound or anything. But in high works like a charm, very cool A/C.
I'm a little hesitant because of that. I don't know if it's a big problem or not. I don't know almost anything about cars, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english

Nah, it's not stupid, it's more or less common on cars over 10 years old. So you good lol

It sounds like a resistor or two in the AC control unit is bad, so if it were me I'd go to the junkyard and see if I can't find one that has them all working. But the experts here may not be like me. I'm different, because I'm simply an amateur with professional schooling
