Yes it does power has to go thru it first and if current is to high it will blow the resister as like a fuse
Most likely the resister is burnt out. When you use less than full blower, the blower speed switch shunts the 12v power though a resister to drop the voltage to the blower motor, slowing the blower speed. When the multi-speed resister is burnt out, it is, 'open circuited'. So no electricity can pass though to the blower. When the blower switch is on 'full', the resister is bypassed, allowing full power to the fan motor for maximum speed. It should be located under that dashboard in most vehicles. Just trace the wires from the switch to the resister. Warning: a working resister can get very hot when power is going though it.
Check the following................ 1. Power and ground to the blower motor. 2. Blower resister. 3. Blower switch.
You still have a blower resister assembly, wiring, and a blower motor itself, in that system. Any one of those could have a problem. You need to use a test light at the blower motor connector and see if you are getting both power and ground. If you are missing a ground, most likely you have a bad blower resister assembly. If you are mssing power, check fuses and wiring. If you have both power and ground, and the motor isn't working, you need a blower motor. I have also found that sometimes tapping with a screwdriver handle on the motor will make it come on, and if that is the case, then again, you have a bad blower motor.
It would have a high speed relay and it would be in the power distribution box under the hood. The blower speed resister is for the lower speeds only.
Check the blower motors ground and power in the truck and the blower motors resister......
You have power but make sure that you also have a good ground and if so then you will need to check both the blower resister as well as the blower switch..........
No only the blower.
Check all of the following..... 1. The blower fuse. 2. The blower ground and power. 3. The a/c controller. 4. The blower resister. 5. The blower motor itself............
Check to see if you are getting power to the blower motor - if so motor is defective if not problem in circuitry to blower motor
It will depend on what its doing along with what might be bad......... Check the fuse first... Check to make sure that you have both power and ground going to the blower motor.. It so then the blower resister, blower switch and wire harness.....
Should under dash on firwall near blower motor.
Check the fuse. Check the blower speed resistor. Check the blower speed control switch.
