Why is my blower not working in Hi ( 5 )?

The usual failure of the resistor pack is if it works in HI (5) but not in any other mode or just a few modes. When you switch to high,the blower motor relay coil circuit is grounded and voltage is now applied directly through the relay to the blower motor; bypassing the resistors. So, I would look to see if the relay is ok.

What should I do if my blower motor stops?

Replace blower motor. If you have a variable speed blower motor, replace the blower motor speed control module. If you have a three or four speed blower motor, remove the blower motor relay. If the motor stops, replace the relay. Alldatadiy.com and Eautorepair.net are professional-grade shop manuals—period.

Why is the resistor not working on my blower?

Hi There, The resistor is what controls the speed of the blower motor, not the relay. The blower motor relay supplies power to this motor when you turn the switch to “on” that can sometimes fail. When this happens, you may notice that you will not feel anything blowing out of the vents at all.

Is the blower motor on a Chevy Silverado working?

Blower Motor does not work on 1 and 2 speed chevy silverado – YouTube I had a Bad Relay. I got one here https://amzn.to/2PSr6fQ It seems the 88-94Trucks have a different system to control the speeds than the 96-00 OBS style Ch…

Why is my blower not working on speed 5?

If your blower is not working on speed 5 then the blow motor resistor (I think its called that) is burnt and you need a new one. It is a 5 minute fix.

Is there a blower motor that does not work?

Blower motor does not work on 1 or 2 speeds. I have yet to attempt repair. I replaced the blower motor resistor but selection 4 (high) don’t work. Motor makes a squealing noise for a few minutes but stops on (3). But still blows. Blower only works on high.

What to do if your Chevy S-10 blower does not run?

The other 2 does fine. 1993 chevy s-10 2wd truck, no heat nor a/c, compressor does not run regardless of switch position. This has happened to me as well. The fix is a simple $18-$25 part, the Resistor Block, which is located inside the back Firewall adjacent to the Blower Motor Housing. Two (2) screws and it pops right out.

It works when a 12-volt test-light is applied to it. It is possible that either the resistor or connected may be damaged thereby causing the Chevrolet blower motor to work only at low speeds or not function at all. Both the blower motor resistor and resistor module connector will have to be replaced.

How do you remove the blower motor from a Chevy?

Remove the blower motor nuts and take out the blower motor and cup from the lower case. This can be done by using a sharp utility knife to cut through the case between the circular ribs around the motor. Cut through the case as straight as possible to avoid damaging the motor cup.

Can a blower motor be taken out of the Cup?

Open the blower motor retaining tab and take the motor out of the cup. A blower motor can develop different problems and each issue would need a specific diagnosis. Hence, it is preferable to get advice from Experts who can provide correct information and answer any questions that may arise.

How do you install a new blower motor?

Installation of the new resistor is just as easy, and has a new harness that plugs into the existing blower motor. Now it gets just a tad more intricate. There can be anywhere from five to seven wires in this system that all have to be cut, stripped and wired into the new connector provided.

Why does my Chevy Silverado blower motor not run?

If the blower motor runs when all of the terminals were jumped together, it means the circuit between the resistor connector and blower motor is fine as well as the blower’s motor relay, but the blower resistor is bad and needs to be replaced.

What does a Chevy blower motor do in a car?

A blower motor is an important part of the air-conditioning system of a vehicle and is driven by an alternating current. Just like with any vehicle part, faults can occur in a Chevy blower motor leading to questions. Listed below are some common questions answered by Experts.

When do you Know It is time to replace your blower motor?
