Why does my dash fan not work anymore?

Why does my dash fan not work anymore?

Yesterday my dash fan vents suddenly didn’t work anymore. The A/C and Recirc buttons still light up, but the fans don’t work (at any speed setting) and when I turn the dial on the right hand side to switch from one set of vents to another, nothing happens there either.

How does the speed control on an AC fan work?

The speed control chooses the speed of the motor by changing the resistance in series with the DC fan motor. These resistors are all attached to one board with shovel plug attachments and the whole assembly is stuck in the air vent to keel them cool. The motor drives the air to cook its own resistors.

What does it mean when a fan stops working?

Follow the wiring that enters the blower motor resistor block the white wire is main supplied power I’d bet it’s turned brown about 1 inch to 1/2 an inch all the way to the connector. If so the pigtail needs replacing. outlawtacoma likes this. My fan also stopped working.

Why is my Honda AC fan not working?

As in prove that somehow they shorted something out – as if. After a month without a car (too cold outside to work on it) and much online searching, testing of fuses, resistors etc etc a Honda mechanic my grandson knew suggested to him that it most likely was the whole heating unit that was blown.

Where is the blower control switch on the dashboard?

The blower control switch on the dashboard controls the circuit flow of the blower motor to adjust the voltage from low, to medium, to medium-high, to high. When on high, the circuit bypasses the blower resistor.
