Year make model aside, most have power going to motor and grounds are through the blower motor resistor, setting speeds by using different resistors on the board, or in the case of automatic climate control, a power resistor control board, usually located in the heater box near the blower motor, Google or ebay for one for your vehicle, get a picture of it in your head and look around the blower motor. They have diodes in them that fail and you will lose all speeds and other times, one or two.
You can test your heater blower motor by connecting a ground wire to the ground. Connect a power wire, from the battery to the positive post. If the blower motor turns it is working, and if it does not it is bad.
Run a new one from the blower motor body to ground
You can unplug the blower motor and run a jumper wire to test the blower motor. If it is grounded through the plug you'll have to run a ground wire to it also. Blower Motor tested good. The Problem was the Blower Motor Controller which was located on the firewall just below the Heater Hoses. Thanks for responses to question.
does a water heater require a ground wire?
You can check the blower motor by unplugging the wire harness and connecting a jumper wire directly from the battery positive terminal to the blower motor. Be very careful to avoid touching the jumper wire to ground to avoid arcing. If the blower motor runs then there may be a blown fuse, bad resistor pack, wiring issues or bad switch.
On my 72 nova the wire going to the blower looks to be purple.
To replace the heater blower motor: First unplug the wire connectors. Then remove the screws and the motor will pull out. Reverse the process to reinstall the blower motor.
The blower motor for the Neon is located behind the glove compartment.To access the blower motor is to unplug the wiring plug from the wire harness and unlatch 3 or 4 clips.Then the blower motor is free from the vent intake.Don't forget to drop the glove compartment door.
The a/c heater blower motor resister is located in the vehicle on the passengers side inside the housing next to the blower motor...............Remove the blower motor resistor wire harness connector.Remove the blower motor resistor screws.Remove the blower motor resistor.
Blown Fuse, loose or disconnected wire, or defective blower motor resistor pack.
It could be a couple of things, the ground wire to the motor may have become disconnected or over heated and melted or the positive wire for the blower which is located behind the radio has melted, which seems to be a problem with Saturn and was a problem with my 2000 Saturn ls. The wire is connected to a harness right behind the radio and is yellow.
With great difficulty!
