Which fan: The fan that blows air into the interior of the car to keep me comfortable, NOT the one mounted in front of the radiator to cool the engine. (side question: what is this fan called? is it the AC fan? The blower motor fan??) The story: So, one day, it just stopped working. There are no ca…

If its the resistor, the fan will still work on high. Fuse #40 should be the fan, although the book says AC, it is labeled htr which is heater and generally means the fan. Next, turn on the fan (in your driveway) and reach up under it and whack it with something and see if it starts working again. …

cont You may have to remove the glove box, which is easy to do, its hooked in place, no tools required. Past experience with the Corolla tells me to expect the blower motor to have a dirty armature and it is not making contact. Not repairable.

The resistor circuit actually controls the speed of the motor by routing the 12VDC through different “legs” of the circuit, containing different resistor values, depending on where you set the fan control. It is possible that the final cicuit out to the fan is bad. However, if the speeds were workin…

This happened to me last week. I went down under the dash, pulled the electrical connector for the fan, cleaned it and the connector on the fan, plugged it back in and now I have a blower motor fan again. It was as simple as that. Of course, my car is 10 years older than yours. It did have some …

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll let know how it all went.

UPDATE: Got into the car today and everything worked. The fan came on and is working normal. How strange… it wasn’t working for two days and magically it worked today. This is puzzling. Some theories: ECU/ECM causing this. My car, 2007 Corolla, has a ECU recall that has not been performed. The r…

“The recall is for a failing ECU that may stall the car. It’s a safety recall. I haven’t done the recall because I figured I didn’t really need to and am a bit worried that new ECU might degrade it’s performance.” So you have a choice of having the "safety" recall or not because you fear it may deg…

This is quite characteristic of a bad connection at the fan, a bad/going bad fan motor, or a bad switch. So unfortunately I don’t think you’ve learned anything yet.

About the ECU Recall: This recall was issued by Toyota in midst of the Sudden Unintended Acceleration “hysteria.” I think they were being VERY pro-active. The number of incidents of failing ECU were very few. Anyway, that’s my thinking. It wasn’t that serious, at least not for my year: 2007. 2006 ha…

So, my car's fan stopped working. A little help?

This is typical behavior for the blower motor used in the Corolla. When you pull the blower motor, look at the armature, turn the motor so that you see the whole thing and you will see the problem. Unfortunately the blower motor can’t be taken apart to resurface the armature.
