Schematic Reference: HVAC Schematics

DEFINITION: The blower motor operates in at least one, but not all, speed positions.

Did you perform the HVAC Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - HVAC Systems - Manual

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the blower motor operate at the desired speed in each speed position?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the blower motor supply voltage circuit and a good ground.
5. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate in each speed position?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 4

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor resistor assembly connector.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit of the blower motor resistor assembly and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?
