I just replaced the blower motor fan switch on my 70 El Camino. I believe it would be the same procedure for a 72.
Remove the dash cover ( 7 screws including two inside the glove box). The dash cover has clips near the windshield. Once the screws are removed, slide the dash cover away from the windshield and over the steering wheel. If you have a column shifter, make sure it is pulled down below the steering wheel. The fan switch is now accessible although a little tight if you have large hands.
There are 2 quarter inch screws holding the switch in place. Loosen the screws with a wrench. Sit in the middle of the car and reach down with your left hand to remove the screws the rest of the way. Make sure you don't drop the screws! Take your time! Pull the switch out of the slot and up to access and remove the connectors. Installation of the new switch is the reverse of removal.
You must have patience! It took me a couple of hours and it went smoothly. The difficulty is starting the screws to secure the new switch. Although you can see where they go with a mirror, you will have to do it by feel. Once you get the screws started, your home free!
Run a new ignition switch controlled "hot" wire directly to fan motor
Not knowing what year, make and model you have, I would suspect the heater fan switch and or electrical plug to the switch is at fault.
The heater fan relay switch can be found on the firewall in the engine compartment. The relay switch will be on the passenger side of the firewall.
check the fan switch.
The reason a heater fan is staying on may be an issue with the switch. It is possible the switch is stuck open. It may be resolved with a good cleaning of the contacts on the switch, or replacing the switch itself.
what "fan" switch? there are 2 fans-radiator fan (electric) and interior "heater" fan. ***the interior fan switch is on the dashboard, just above the radio. it is a "bar-grasp" switch with white dots above the switch. the rad. fan switch is controlled by the ecm thru. the coolant temp. sensor. addendum: ***is for a '95 galant. your int. heater switch will, more than likely, be different
The 2002 Chevrolet trailblazer heater fan relay switch is located behind the dashboard. The relay switch will be on the drivers side of the vehicle.
It could be the high speed heater motor relay is stuck on or the switch itself is broken.
The blower motor resistor is bad and goes to high fan.
First check your fuses. Next check your fan to see if it is working and if the wires are hooked up. The fan is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side. If the fan tests good it is your heater relay located on the heater core cover or the fan switch on the heater control. The heater control is in the passenger compartment. The fan switch will usually work on at least one setting.
fuse, wire, switch, resistor, fan motor, ground, etc.
