Why is my blower motor only working at high speed?

Why is my blower motor only working at high speed?

The first thing that needs to be determined is the type of noise that is present and the possible sources. Rattling or knocking noises while… The blower motor only working on high speed is a common symptom of a failing blower motor resistor; but the fact the radio stopped working at the same time is unusual.

Why is the resistor not working on my blower?

Hi There, The resistor is what controls the speed of the blower motor, not the relay. The blower motor relay supplies power to this motor when you turn the switch to “on” that can sometimes fail. When this happens, you may notice that you will not feel anything blowing out of the vents at all.

What are the symptoms of a worn out blower motor?

One of the symptoms of a worn out blower motor is that it can intermittently produce a loud screeching noise when running. How to test a blower motor? If the blower motor doesn’t work at all, the blower motor itself must be tested first. Typically it’s done by measuring the voltage at the blower motor connector when it’s turned on.

Why is the blower motor not working on my car?

My car has an automatic transmission. Hi There, The resistor is what controls the speed of the blower motor, not the relay. The blower motor relay supplies power to this motor when you turn the switch to “on” that can sometimes fail. When this happens, you may notice that you will not feel anything blowing out of the vents at all.

How does the speed of a blower motor work?

This means that the current running through the blower motor, and its’ speed is therefore controlled by the resistor value. The user chooses a fan speed by selecting a speed which then connects one of the resistors in the blower resistor pack.

Hi There, The resistor is what controls the speed of the blower motor, not the relay. The blower motor relay supplies power to this motor when you turn the switch to “on” that can sometimes fail. When this happens, you may notice that you will not feel anything blowing out of the vents at all.

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.

Why is my furnace or AC blower not working?

The first thing that needs to be determined is the type of noise that is present and the possible sources. Rattling or knocking noises while… The blower motor only working on high speed is a common symptom of a failing blower motor resistor; but the fact the radio stopped working at the same time is unusual.

What are the symptoms of a failed blower motor resistor?

Blower motor resistor problems. Problems with a blower motor resistor are common in many cars. The most common symptom of a failed blower motor resistor is when the heater fan only runs at high speed and doesn’t work at low speeds.

Why does my heater not work on high speed?

Heater blower motor will not work on high speed? I have replaced the black bosch relay behind the glovebox, the blower resistor and the blower motor and still cannot get the blower to work on high. I remember in older model years of gmc’s and chevys that their was a high speed blower relay that caused this issue.

Why does my GMC heater blower not work?

I have replaced the black bosch relay behind the glovebox, the blower resistor and the blower motor and still cannot get the blower to work on high. I remember in older model years of gmc’s and chevys that their was a high speed blower relay that caused this issue. If there is a high speed relay, I can’t find it. Any suggestions?

What to do if your blower is not working?

The very first step you need to take is getting a scan run on the computer. Take your car to a technician or a local parts store and have them scan the car. They will give you a list of… Hello there, thank you for asking about your 1998 Oldsmobile LSS.

Why does my AC fan not work at high speeds?

On the low speeds, the fan relay routes the voltage thru the resistor block. When you switch to high fan speed, the relay switches over to supply full voltage from the battery to the fan motor. Tester is right.

Why is my blower not working in Hi ( 5 )?

The usual failure of the resistor pack is if it works in HI (5) but not in any other mode or just a few modes. When you switch to high,the blower motor relay coil circuit is grounded and voltage is now applied directly through the relay to the blower motor; bypassing the resistors. So, I would look to see if the relay is ok.

How do you change the blower motor on a car?

Removal of the right side dash trim is usually all it takes to access the heater/blower area of the vehicle. A couple screws later and the resistor is out and unplugged from the blower motor. Installation of the new resistor is just as easy, and has a new harness that plugs into the existing blower motor. Now it gets just a tad more intricate.

How many volts does a blower motor have?

At low is might have 5V, M1 7 ish, and M2 9 ish volts. (note mine is not working and I think resistors are bad I get 11.9V on hi 11.73 v on all other speeds lo, m1, and m2. Anyone ever measure what voltages are normal to speeds ?

How to diagnose a blower motor problem?

Place two large straight pins in the plug of the blower motor but leave the blower motor plugged in. Place a voltmeter across the two pins. Turn on the ignition and turn the blower switch through each position.

What happens if a heater blower has no power?

A blower motor without power will not be able to produce any air pressure, and as a result the heating and air conditioning system will be left with no air coming from the vents.

What are the symptoms of a bad heater motor resistor?

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Heater Blower Motor Resistor. 1 1. Blower motor stuck on one speed. A common symptom of a faulty blower motor resistor is a blower motor that is stuck on one setting. The blower 2 2. Blower motor does not work on certain settings. 3 3. No air from the vehicle’s vents.

What kind of blower does not work on high?

1997 GMC C1500 Heater/AC Blower Will Not Work on HIGH. 1997 GMC C1500 Heater/AC blower will not work on HIGH. I have replaced the black BOSCH relay behind the glovebox, the blower RESISTOR and the blower MOTOR and still cannot get the blower to work on HIGH.

How does a high speed blower motor work?

In the highest fan speed state, the blower resistor is bypassed completely and the fan is effectively connected directly to the car’s battery, allowing maximum current to be supplied to the blower motor.

Blower motor resistor problems. Problems with a blower motor resistor are common in many cars. The most common symptom of a failed blower motor resistor is when the heater fan only runs at high speed and doesn’t work at low speeds.

Why is my leaf blower not blowing air?

In this case, your blower may be on the incorrect setting, which can prevent it from blowing air. The tubes in your leaf blower typically direct the flow of air during operation.

Why does my blower not run at full throttle?

Seems like a fuel supply problem. At best, it will run at half throttle, but never at peak rpm. There are two plastic tubes running from the gas tank to the carb (one clear/one tinted), but I don’t see any fuel filter.

The very first step you need to take is getting a scan run on the computer. Take your car to a technician or a local parts store and have them scan the car. They will give you a list of… Hello there, thank you for asking about your 1998 Oldsmobile LSS.

Where does the power transistor go in a blower motor?

The power transistor has 4 wires: two come from the climate control system control unit, one is the ground, one goes to the negative terminal of the blower motor. The service manual advises measuring the voltage at the blower motor, then if not OK, at the power transistor and so on.

What happens when a blower motor relay wears out?

Without it, the AC system will not be able to circulate any heated or cooled air. The blower motor relay controls the current used to power the blower motor, and is subject to the constant on and off switching. Over time, it can eventually wear out.

Can a Dodge Ram blower motor work on the AC?

Dodge Ram blower motor won’t work on the heater and AC. There is no power going to the blower motor, fire reducer or to switch. Fuses are good, relays are good but it will not heat or cool the truck. How to fix this? Show More
