If your pickup’s blower motor resistor passed this continuity test, you can stop here.

What makes the blower motor turn slower than full speed?

It’s this reduction in current (that the combination of resistor provokes) that makes the blower motor turn slower than full speed (HI). The one blower motor speed that doesn’t depend on the blower motor resistor assembly is HI since the blower motor switch accomplishes this speed by completely bypassing the blower motor resistor assembly.

Why is the blower motor not working on my car?

My car has an automatic transmission. 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.

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.

What should I do if my blower is not working?

You should take the blower motor out and inspect it and at least change the resistor pack for it.
