To test the blower motor resistor, unplug the resistor connector. Each blower motor switch input terminal on the resistor must have continuity to the resistor output terminal, which is connected to the circuit going to the blower motor. If the blower motor resistor continuity does not check OK, replace the faulty resistor.You need a multimeter to test the resistor block and there should be continuity between all terminals.
The blower motor resistor block is located on the underside of the HVAC housing (Heater Box) next to the blower motor. The blower motor is located at the right side of the dashboard. You can access the blower motor resistor block from under the dashboard. A Word of Caution! Stay clear of the blower motor resistor block heat sink - It could be Hot. Incidentally, I have read about people working on their dashboards and setting off the airbag. It is a good thing to disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery and make sure that it can not touch the battery post. Wait at least a couple of minutes for the airbag system to discharge.
blower module on blower/ evap case
Its on the passenger side underneath the dash. Take off the kick panel that's right below the glove compartment (2 screws you can see underneath, 2 you have to take off the glove compartment door to get to). Once you get that off, its really easy to see. There are 2 bolts (size about 7mm) holding it in and a locking clip with the 4 blower swith wires coming out.
located on the fire wall left side there are 2 8mm screws holding it in may need to put a screwdriver behind and slightly pry the resistor if the screws just seem like they are just spinning and not coming out . to test first look under the dash in back of the glove box and locate the harness with 2 wires one green and one black with a tan trace I suggest unplugging the harness and use a power probe to power up the blower and make sure it works the green is the pos 12volt and black is ground if the blower fires up then goto the resistor . no need to really check this its a 10 dollar part that is often bad just replace it no worries it is probably the problem I rarely see the control switch bad or the blower so good luck and just remember half of the job is having the right tools to test I highly suggest investing in a POWER PROBE. makes things really easy to test CHRYSLER MASTER TECH ASE MASTER TECH 15+ YRS EXP
I mean how do you disassemble the fan blower in a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. how do you remove the blower fan from the car in the Grand Jeep Cherokee Laredo.
shaking the blower resister
When you beat the blower motor, you are probably shaking the blower resister. The resister is what controls the blower speeds and is probably bad or loose.
The heater blower resister is under the dash on the passenger side. It is inserted into the side of the blower motor case.
Behind the glove box.
location of resister for blower motor on 1997 s 10 blazer
Remove the HVAC rear module auxiliary assembly.Disconnect the electrical connectors from the rear blower resister auxiliary.Remove the air outlet duct from the rear blower motor controller auxiliary.Remove the screws from the blower motor rear resister auxiliary.Remove the rear blower motor resister auxiliary.Replace the resister and install new thermal gasket.................
if you lost one or two fan speeds you need to change the blower motor resister. it sells for around $60.00 at a dealer only.
It's close to the blower motor.
Most likely the resister is burnt out. When you use less than full blower, the blower speed switch shunts the 12v power though a resister to drop the voltage to the blower motor, slowing the blower speed. When the multi-speed resister is burnt out, it is, 'open circuited'. So no electricity can pass though to the blower. When the blower switch is on 'full', the resister is bypassed, allowing full power to the fan motor for maximum speed. It should be located under that dashboard in most vehicles. Just trace the wires from the switch to the resister. Warning: a working resister can get very hot when power is going though it.
The blower resister could be bad, or the blower switch could be failing. Check the resister first, it is commonly mounted at the rear of the blower housing under the hood.
You will most likely have a bad blower resister..............
Blower speed resister is burned out.
