Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems to prevent shock or short circuits.

Symptoms

  • •Blower motor only operates at high speed
  • •Inability to adjust fan speed settings
  • •Potential noise from the blower motor at high speed
  • •No air circulation when fan speed is set to low or medium
  • •Dashboard control lights may be functioning but do not change fan speed

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Check for any error codes using an OBD-II scanner to determine if there are related electrical issues.
  2. 2Inspect the blower motor resistor for signs of damage or burning, which can indicate failure.
  3. 3Test the blower motor switch for functionality using a multimeter to ensure it is sending the correct signals.
  4. 4Verify the wiring harness connections to the blower motor and resistor for any loose or corroded connections.
  5. 5Measure the voltage at the blower motor connector while operating the fan switch to check for consistent power supply.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
  • Tools Required: Screwdriver set, multimeter, OBD-II scanner.

2. Remove Blower Motor Resistor
