Why is the blower motor not working on my GMC Yukon?

All appear fine. I then pulled the blower motor out of dash and determined there was power to the plug at the motor. I bench tested the blower and it worked fine. I have power from the switch to the blower resistor and from the resistor to the motor. Plugging the resistor back in, plugging the motor into the resistor but the motor fails to work.

What should I do if my blower won’t shut off?

Refer to either the Blower Motor Control Processor Replacement or Blower Motor Processor Replacement-Auxiliary procedures in SI. After replacement of the blower motor control module, the customer may notice a slightly higher than expected blower motor speed at any of the blower speed settings.

Why did my Chevy Silverado blower fan stop working?

This is the third Chevy truck and this one has had the oddest problems by far. As others have reported, first the “5” fan setting stopped working… probably around 60,000 miles on odometer. Now, all settings are broken at 135,000. I’ll probably try to fix it myself. Blower fan resistor went out.

What should I do if my GM fan won’t turn on?

Pull the negative battery cable and re-install, making sure it is very tight (also check the positive to make sure it is tight). See if this fixes the problem. Many of GM’s AC control heads have a built in reset feature that when power is removed and then applied it will go through a cycle that activates all the vent doors and mode doors.

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 happens when a heater motor resistor fails?

If the resistor shorts or fails, it may cause the blower motor to remain stuck on one fan speed. The heating and air conditioning systems may still function at one speed, however the resistor will have to be replaced in order for full functionality to be restored. 2. Blower motor does not work on certain settings

What are the symptoms of a failed blower motor resistor?

Blower motor resistor problems. Problems with a blower motor resistor are common in many cars. The most common symptom of a failed blower motor resistor is when the heater fan only runs at high speed and doesn’t work at low speeds.

What does it mean if your blower motor is not working?

Average rating from 849 customers who received a AC is not working Inspection. The blower motor resistor is an electrical component that is a part of the vehicle’s heating and air conditioning system. It is responsible for controlling the blower motor’s fan speed.

Where does the power transistor go in a blower motor?

The power transistor has 4 wires: two come from the climate control system control unit, one is the ground, one goes to the negative terminal of the blower motor. The service manual advises measuring the voltage at the blower motor, then if not OK, at the power transistor and so on.

What happens if you lose the blower motor relay?

The blower motor is the component responsible for pushing air through the vents of your vehicle’s heating and air conditioning systems. Without it, the AC system will not be able to circulate any heated or cooled air. The blower motor relay controls the current used to power the blower motor,…

What happens if a heater blower has no power?

A blower motor without power will not be able to produce any air pressure, and as a result the heating and air conditioning system will be left with no air coming from the vents.

The TSB applies to the following vehicles with automatic temperature control:

What should I do if my blower wont shut off?

If the blower stops with either of these steps, the problem is in the HVAC control module.
