Blower Motor Problems
 

I turned on my blower motor the other day and noticed that in position 3(almost high) the blower motor does not work...but it does work in all other positions...is this a motor problem or a relay problem......ideas?

It's a resistor problem. Just go to your local auto parts store and tell them your problem. They'll get you hooked up. Easy fix.

I say easy fix, and it is, yet my position 1 hasn't worked for 3 or 4 years. Damn I'm lazy! lol

yeah my 1 and 2 fan settings have never worked. so i either get cold or end up frying.bfg112 can you go into more detail about this fix.

Well, I've never done it myself. I stood there and drank a beer while my buddy changed his. It only took about one beer to get it done. I can find out some specifics from him and post here.

SO how fast do you drink your beer?????? :)

I refuse to honor that question with an answer.

its not how fast you drink,its do you look fast drinkin.

WELL that answers That question :) ......but really the resistor is by the blower motor right?

Should be able to see it behind the glove box.

It's not the blower motor or the resister that I have been able to figure out. It has been my switch the whole time for me. I have bought a new switch twice and repaired it twice myself. It is a stupid little plastic housing with two brass like plates with the connector. The Plastic switch can be replaced then it will work for a little bit then it get's too hot and then it just melts the brass contact plate down far enough so that it doesn't hit the main plate. That is what the problem was with mine. I would amagine that that is the same problem as your trucks blower motor.

Now if you guys know that already then I am sorry for speaking out of turn, I will not do it again. I am a bad boy. Sorry!

All joking aside, if there is something that is making the switch too hot and that is in turn the actual problem I would love to hear about it! But I have fixed the switch multiple times and that fix's it for a while. I am just trying to figure out a permanent fix for this problem.

Let me know what you gentlemen figure out.

Take it easy, if you can't, then take it however you need to. In the end, make sure that you get it and don't give it back. Once you figure out what it is, keep it and enjoy it, you may not be able to enjoy it much longer this day in age!

That is about all of that I will be able to give. I am not one that does that all the time, I just had back surgery and I am still on the meds. SO, pardon me if it gets a little wierd in my posts, or if there are spelling errors. I am not thinking quit as clear as I am normally.

So sorry about the long post! I am done now. I promise.

I put mine in it took me about 5 minutes to find it. Its on the passenger side under the glove box. It took 1 minute to install its a plug

So is that what is causing the switch to over heat or whatever it is doing? I am curious now! If I replaced this relay that you speak of, that would fix the problem that is making the switch go bad?

If the switch itself is going bad that's another issue entirely. I don't think that's waht my problem is. Then again, I can't say for sure since I haven't tried anything to fix it. My position 1 doesn't work, and it hasn't annoyed me enough to bother trying to fix it. The resistor is only about $25. If I get around to getting one this weekend I'll let you all know if it fixes my problem.

Sound like I have some work to do...and since it is 70 here today (sorry all you people in the north) I think I am going to look at both the resister and the switch and see if I can find and connection between the two I will report back when Im done
