Ratings mean Max Value. It means you can provide it with a Max Supply Voltage of 12 Volts. And when supply is 12 V, the shaft or anything connected to it will rotate at a speed of 500 RPM. Going for higher voltages will cause insulation breakdown in the motor winding.

Practically though, you can use it till around 16 V, presuming such motors are used for minor works i.e robotics mostly. But this will decrease the lifetime of the motor. Going beyond that is destructive for the motor.

Chevy Astro 94 have 12V in switch and is work but fan blower does not run ;where is it located and how can you tested?

On some years, there are 2 separate fuses, one for the switch and another for the blower motor. First make sure fuses are good, if all is good, the blower motor is located under the hood, pass side at firewall. There should be a purple wire going to the motor, on the high blower motor setting there should be 12v at that wire. If 12v is available at the purple wire, make sure your ground is good (blower motor ground is at the motor case - black wire attached). If both are good, most likely cause would be the blower motor itself. If 12v was not present at the purple wire, likely causes are the blower motor relay (which is found just above the blower motor), mode switches ie. vent/blend/defrost etc. (if 12v is not present after the switch - poss colours brown or brown with a white stripe) or blower motor switch ie. high/med/low fault.

If a centre tap transformer rated as 12V-0-12V 1Athen what will be the secondary current of that perticular transformer?

The output voltage of a transformer is not connected to the maximum rated current. You state that the transformer is rated at 12-0-12 at a current of 1A, therefore the maximum (rated) current on the secondary would be 1A. Normally, transformers are rated in VA (volt amps) which is simply voltage x current, the voltage across the two 12v terminals would be 12+12 volts, making the rating of the transformer 24VA.
