heater a/c blower motor
« on: September 20, 2012, 03:06:00 AM »
My a/c blower motor stopped blowing. The a/c still works. It seemed to blow at low speed at all settings the stopped all together. The fuses look good. How do I test the motor without disassembling the dask if that is possible?
How hard is it to change the motor? Any help?
Thanks.  :confused:

It's likely not the motor. It's probably the resistor pack in the bottom of the motor housing, or the position switch in the HVAC control itself.

The resistor packs are wound coils and corrode over time, each coil has a different resistance and controls one speed setting of the motor. If each speed slowly stopped working I'd bet this is the culprit

This is what the resistor pack looks like
