I'm not sure what it's called but it controls the speed of the blower for the heat or AC (blower control?) It's not hard or expensive repair. Here's a link

Sounds like a blower motor resistor problem. Here is a link to how to do the repair. About an hour job at the most (I've done the blower motor several times, but not the resistor), the hardest part is contorting yourself to get into position to do the repair.
http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=36099Link to the part at Advance Auto Parts (other places have it as well online and probably locally):http://shop.advanceautoparts.c...S____Note that the part is different than the blower motor resistor in the Toyota Matrix.
