Blower motor doesn't work

Answer 1

I currently have the same problem however unresolved for lack of drive and dollars.

I learned that on my 1997 Jimmy 4Dr 4x4 the blower motor is mounted within a plastic shroud under the hood, on the firewall furthest to the passenger side.

If the blower is dead with no reaction whatsoever, I would first check the electrical connection, the fuse panel and play with the controls a bit before replacing it.

If the blower motor is making noises, it is likely going to go however there could be something just rattling around inside the fan or the fan has become loose. It could be worth your while to check.

The blower motor costs $66 at NAPA in Aldergrove BC which is the only motor I have found with the "squirrel-cage" fan included. All others I have found ie. Lordco, Aldergrove Parts & Canadian Tire, the fan is not included and you have to salvage your old or purchase it separately.

One last note: The blower motor is covered by this black plastic shroud that must be either completely removed including the A/C components or cut for accessibility. Cutting it is the standard way of accessing the blower, however if you have to rebuild the conditioner, I would think saving continuity could be important.

I bought the "Haynes Chevrolet S-10 & Blazer, GMC Sonoma & Jimmy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Isuzu Hombre Automotive Repair Manual : 1994 Thru 1998

by Robert Maddox, John H. Haynes"

and it gives all the directions with pictures.
