Sounds like your fan speed (resistor) board needs to be replaced. It sends a different resistance to the blower to regulate the blower speed. Usually located on the outside of the fan shroud under the hood.

The A/C light will automatically come on when you select defrost because the air conditioning system is operating in that position to dehumidify the air before it's blown across the windshield. This will prevent the windshield from fogging over. Hope that helps! Jim
