blower motor resistor is out. it controls the amps to the blower motor which controls your fan speeds. when out it only allows fan to work on 2 settings...low and max.

needs to be replaced. theyre usually located behind the glove box on the climate control box. will have a wire sticking out and two screws that hold it in place..
heres a link for price n pic of back of resistor. takes 5 mins to replace..

so would that also cause it not to work without putting power directly to it?

well they all looked to be connected and not blown. but i found out that the reason my blower motor wasnt working was a relay. but it still only works on 2 and 4 i think ill just find a jy resistor for cheap and see if thats it

oh yea...i forgot about the relay for the motor that sits by the resistor. and if it works on the hi/lo settings its the resistor. even though mine was black when i took it out my fan still worked on lo n hi....

Angry Darn Blower tick'n me off

My ac/heat blower hasn't worked for over a year. I replaced the motor...nope. I took the resistor from my sons jeep which worked fine and ...no deal. I checked fuses... all ok. Relays I switched them around and nothing changed. What tha heck?!!!!

Do you havea meter to check if it's getting power?

If you can't be good, be good at it!

Why buy a broken resistor? Just buy a new one from NAPA.

I don't have a meter, but if it wasn't getting power what would be the solution. Not the fuse, resistor...what next could I check?
