Which is the best blower motor resistor kit?
Which is the best blower motor resistor kit?
Blue Streak® is proud to offer premium Blower Motor Resistor Kits as a high-quality solution for melted connectors and blower motor resistors. Blue Streak® improved on the OE design to create a connector that will withstand the excessive heat and reduce future failure.
How does a blower motor resistor control the fan speed?
The blower motor resistor controls the fan speed of the blower motor and the resulting change in air pressure produced by the movement of the blower fan. It accomplishes this by regulating the electric current that powers the motor.
What does Blue Streak blower motor resistor do?
Blue Streak® offers blower motor resistors that are direct-fit replacements and engineered to withstand the high amounts of current that can melt the resistor or connector. What do Blower Motor Resistors do?
How can I tell if my blower motor resistor is bad?
A repair manual can tell you where its location is in your vehicle’s make and model. Inspect the resistor visually. Look for obvious signs of corrosion and burns from overheating.
What is the purpose of a blower motor resistor?
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. A failed blower motor resistor can cause issues with the operation of the entire heating and air conditioning system.
Where is the resistor for the blower motor located?
Two individual resistors make up the blower motor resistor assembly on your Chevy pickup. As you’re probably already aware, these resistors are located between the A/C-Heater control panel and the blower motor . The purpose of these resistors is to reduce the amount of the blower motor’s current that’s passing through them.
Why does blower motor resistor keep going out?
The blower motor appears to be defective here. When the brushes wear out the motor draws excessive amps which could cause the resistor to burn out. Before making further replacements remove the motor and check it, especially the brush assembly. This is the most likely reason for the resistor to fail repetitively.
Is there a way to test a blower motor?
Blower Motor Resistor Testing Place one lead of the Ohmmeter on terminal 1 of the resistor. Place the other lead on terminal 2 and check against specifications. Move the lead from terminal 2 to terminal 3 and check this reading against specifications. Move the lead from terminal 3 to terminal 4 and check this reading against specifications.
