How do you test a broken blower motor?
What Are Signs Your Blower Motor Needs to Be Replaced?
- Poor or Airflow from Air Vents. This will be the first and most obvious sign your blower motor has a problem.
- No Airflow At All From Vents.
- Skyrocketing Energy Bills.
- Strange Noises When You Turn on the Heat.
- Overheating Blower / Weird Smells.
What causes a blower motor to stop working?
In a situation where the motor doesn’t work on any speed, the most likely causes are: a blown power supply fuse, a bad motor ground connection, bad motor speed control module or a failed motor. On all systems, a failed blower motor is least likely. Blower motors generally don’t fail out of the clear blue.
What are the symptoms of a bad blower motor relay?
3. Melted relay. Another more serious symptom of a problem with the blower motor relay is a burned or melted relay. Relays are exposed to high current loads and can sometimes get hot when they develop problems.
Why does my blower motor make a squealing noise?
The squealing noise happens most often in the winter during cold startups and may disappear as the motor heats up. If you ignore the noise, the bearing will continue to wear to the point where the motor won’t start at all. The reason I’m not including the motor resistor as a suspect is because it usually only controls the lower speeds.
How do you fix a blower motor on a car?
Disconnect the electrical connector at the blower motor and jumper power and ground to the motor, bypassing all the speeds controls. Run a fused jumper from the battery to the power side of the motor and connect a temporary grounding jumper to the other motor terminal.
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.

How can I tell if my blower speed switch is faulty?
Test for power at all the blower speeds by moving the blower speed switch through all positions. A faulty resistor loses power at different positions on the switch. High blower speed has direct power to the motor from the switch. If there is no power indicated on high blower speed, the problem is most likely the switch or the fuse.
How can I tell if my blower motor resistor is bad?
Attach the clip lead of the test light to a good ground like a bolt screwed into metal, and touch the sharp probe end to the terminals on the fuse. An indication of power at both terminals of the fuse determines that the fuse is good. If one of the terminals has power and the other does not, the fuse is bad. Replace the fuse as needed.
