Why is my blower motor on my Ranger not working?
I recently experienced a problem where the blower motor in my 1996 Ranger quit working. When working with your blower motor you have to first understand that the blower basically works in the opposite manner of most automotive electrical components. Normally you switch on a positive current to an electrical component to turn it on.
Where is the relay on a 1996 Ranger?
In the case of my 1996 Ranger the relay is behind the passenger side headlight. If there is no voltage and the fuses are good, check the relay. Note: 1983-1990 Rangers don’t have a relay. The power for the blower motor comes straight from a 30 amp fuse that is hot in run. It is the fuse directly above the flasher.
How to troubleshoot a new air conditioner floor fan?
Your Troubleshooting Guide 1 Check the Cord It sounds simple, but your first step should be to make sure the cord is securely plugged in. 2 Check Your Circuit Breaker 3 Check for Power to Your Outlet 4 Check the Fan Fuse 5 Replace the Cord 6 Clean the Fan 7 Grease the Motor 8 Call Customer Support 9 Choose Your Next Fan Wisely
Why does my floor fan not turn on?
If you turn on your fan and the fan motor hums even though the fan blades won’t move, the cause may be that the gears are stuck. Once you’ve cleaned the fan as outlined in the previous step, try unscrewing the motor housing so you can see the electric motor parts.
Why is the fan not working on my range hood?
Some range hoods use an electro-mechanical switch to control the exhaust fan. The fan switch activates the fan and controls the fan speed. If the fan switch doesn’t work properly, replace it. If your range hood fan won’t turn on, the fan switch might be broken.
When to replace the fan on a range?
Replace the fan switch if you measure no continuity through the switch with the switch turned on. If the switch or the electronic control board sends current to the fan motor but the fan motor doesn’t run, replace the fan motor. The electronic control board operates the exhaust fan and cooktop lights in the range hood.

Why does my radiator fan not come on?
If you go the the harness plug that you unplug the radiator temp switch from there will be two blade connectors in there. Take a short piece of wire and jumper across this. If you turn the key on and your fan is good this will force the fan on. If you do this and turn the key on and the fan does not come on then your fan is bad.
What happens if the blower motor only works on high speed?
In other designs, the failure of 1 resistor means you lose only one speed. However, most car makers bypass the blower motor resistor completely when you move the fan speed switch to high. If your blower only operates on its highest speed, chances are you have the series type of blower motor resistor. This is the most common failure mode.
Why is my blower motor resistor not working?
If there is power indicated on high blower speed, but not low or mid range, the problem is the blower resistor. Test for ground at the blower motor if there is power indicated at all ranges, but the motor does not function.
How can I tell if my blower speed switch is faulty?
Test for power at all the blower speeds by moving the blower speed switch through all positions. A faulty resistor loses power at different positions on the switch. High blower speed has direct power to the motor from the switch. If there is no power indicated on high blower speed, the problem is most likely the switch or the fuse.

How can I tell if my blower motor is bad?
The motor should spin at its highest setting. If it does then you have a problem with the connection at the plug. If not, you have a bad motor. The blower gets it’s power from a relay. In the case of my 1996 Ranger the relay is behind the passenger side headlight. If there is no voltage and the fuses are good, check the relay.
