wiring fault. at max speed the resistor is bypassed
It gives you all the blower speeds except high.
More than likely the blower motor resistor pack is bad, although it can also be the switch itself.
When the blower motor stays on it means there is a short to power, or the relay is sticking. 99.9% of the time the relay sticks. I belive on the 2004 silverados the blower motor relay is internal to the blower motor resistor. Try to find an auxillary blower motor relay and if there isn't one then replace the blower motor resistor.
The Blower Motor Resistor Pack is defctive. Replace it.
Because for each speed except the higgest one, to slow the motor of the fan, a resistor is choose and it's a big resistor, bigger to slow the speed and after long use or if the motor is defect (use to much currant), the resistor burn and no currant can pass trough
It gives you all the blower motor speeds except high. all blower motors are 12 volt, so on full speed they turn fast and blow a lot of air, to make the fan turn slower [and blow less air] they route the power through a resister, it drops the voltage to the motor so turns slower, on a 4 speed motor there will be 3 resisters.
Defective blower motor resistor module. this is true except if the control module is malfunctioning at which point the defrost goes to emergency mode in which the defrost will stay on permanently. My module will not power up and I need help with wiring schematics to find a bad ground or power wire
OBVIOUSLY a 1 ohms resistor will show as zero for all the higher scale except for the low range
There is no opposite except a lack of insurance.The opposite adjective of insured is uninsured.
It sounds like the blower resistor assembly is defective. All fan speeds except for high go through resistors (that is what controls the speeds from low to high). Number 4 is high and has the full 12 volts going to the fan.
