MSN Autos reported the blower motor problem as a resistor failure on the blower motor. In plain English, this means that the resistor on the fan motor which tells it to slow down to a lower speed than "max" is burnt out and no longer completes the circuit. If your heater is on & the fan isn't blowing, it's like a toaster in your dash, with no toast in it. It'll just smell like burning. Apparently it's a cheap fix. The resistor just has to be replaced.

Why wont the heater in my 1999 alero work at all?

A common problem is that the heater resistor/ circuit board is defective and need to be replaced. The main symptom is that the heater fan with not run on the three low speeds but will run on high.

Probably the blower motor speed resistor is partially burned out.


Why does your heater fan only run on high speed?

99% of the time it is the heater resistor block, it is a bunch of resistors which gives you the different speeds. this is mounted close to the heater motor, pass side of the car. Usual cause of failure: water or snow inside the heater housing.
