What happens if you have a bad blower motor resistor?
What happens if you have a bad blower motor resistor?
If you have faulty blower motor resistor you may experience low airflow coming from the vents even when the fan is all the way on high. In some cases bad blower motor resistor may not even turn the blower motor fan as a result your fan will not work at all and there will be no air coming from the vents.
When did the blower motor on my Blazer stop working?
2005 T’Blazer, 6 cylinder, manual A/C controls. Maybe 6 months ago, blower fan speed 5 stopped working, followed by the rest shortly after. Following the great advice on this forum, I checked the blower motor resistor and plug, and replaced as advised.
What was the wire that melted on my blower?
One of the center wires is burned and melted about 1/4 inch outsode the plug. By wiggling that wore I can get speeds one through four to work again, but the wore and plug get really hot. I bought the connector and resistor at Auto Zone last time, the one that’s in there now.
Can you check the draw of a blower motor?
You can check the current draw of the blower motor with a 12V battery/power supply and a DMM to be sure. given all the good responses I’ve gotten here, is to buy the connector plug that the Captain linked to, a new Delco resistor, and install them. The blower motor seems fine, it sounds and runs as it always has.

What causes a blower motor resistor to burn up?
Blower motors that are starting to go bad are often a cause for resistors burning up. The bad motor will draw too much current and cause the heating that damages everything. An armed society is a polite one. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.-Robert Heinlein
