The fan has finally stopped blowing either hot, cold, ANY air from climate control. I believe it’s the motor but what steps should I follow to trouble shoot this beyond this point and short of buying a fan or motor if it’s just a fuse that needs to be replaced? If it is the motor, how do I replace t…

As Cougar mentioned one of the most straightforward things to do is just jumper 12V directly to the blower. If it runs that way then the motor isn’t dead. Another thing you can do if you have a voltmeter is just find out if you get 12V at the blower connector. If you have to replace it, I don’t k…

There are really only four parts involved here, the fuse, the switch, the resistor pack and the motor itself. Check the fuse, if its OK, then the resistor pack would be next. If the motor works on the highest setting, then the resistor pack is defective, if not, then it’s the motor. The switch it…

The fuse box is located under the dash board next to the steering wheel. You need to crawl under the dash to see it. There should be a diagram showing the location and purpose of each fuse. Your owner’s manual may have a similar diagram. Find the fuse for the blower motor, pull it and inspect it…

I admit that I didn’t look up the price on this one. I had an 86 Toyota Tercel one time. I only found one blower motor for that one under $200 at the time. I eventually got one for around $85, but it was a generic. I had to splice in the connector, and the wires did not share the same color code…

Well… the fan SOMETIMES works. I hit a street dip this morning and it came on! The highest setting worked but not always! However the other two not so much, a minimal air flow at best. I purchased a blower $41.03, a resistor $30.84. and a filter $4.77 all three on Amazon with free shipping! I purcha…

Going from what you describe about this problem I think you may have purchased the wrong parts to solve the trouble. My guess is the trouble is coming from the blower relay. The contacts inside it wear over time and can cause the intermittent operation you described. You can verify that by tapping o…

Ok, I understand where you’re trying to go but you lost met after “blower relay,” in the first sentence. I have very little car fixing experience other than replacing a driver side mirror assembly. So, I shouldn’t try replacing the parts I purchased? I’m happy to try your suggestion but I would need…

Relays are used to switch power on to devices that require a fairly high amount of current. The blower motor uses perhaps around 8 to 12 amps. The relay is a fairly small device and if you do a web search on a Bosch relay you will be able to see what they generally look like. The blower relay should…

I’m searching for relays but only motor blower resistors come up. What am I doing wrong?

To see if the motor is really the trouble I suggest you apply power directly to it and see if that gets it working. If that trick works then the real trouble may be with the resistor pack or the blower relay.
