1970 Duster heater fan only one speed works

Hello everyone! I'm long time A-body owner who is just getting back into the game. I just got a '70 duster from the original owner with 72,000 mile on it..it's a sixbanger..of course.
My issue today is that the dash fan only works on the slowest speed. The car has factory a/c so when I push ANY of the control buttons the fan comes on as it should but it won't go any faster when I move the fan speed switch to ANY other speed. There are 3 available speeds...low, medium and high...and off when I push the off button on the controls. I found the fan resister and it has power to it but when I move the switch to a higher speed I don't get power out of any of the other connectors at the resister. Bad switch?? If so what is the easiest way to get that damn thing out?! This car has a face plate covering the controls with NO external screws to remove it! It's been a long time since I've been in the dash of one of these things so any help is of course...GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks!!
