Default A/C blows high

Ok guys I finally got tired of driving around that having my a/c or heater on at full blast. For some reason it will not blow low, its like stuck on high no matter what i set the temperature to. have yall heard of this and what can cause it, could it be the blower motor?

its the A/C Control Blower Motor.

will run you about $160+ at the dealer.

its located behind the glove box.

i think the Is300 one will work, they sell those on eBay.

This is what it looks like.

Is this part the same as a "Blower Motor Relay"? I have the same problem with my car 2000 Lexus GS 300, and replaced the blower motor relay, and still only blows on High.
