Why is my Kia Sportage blower not working?
The best way would be to use a voltmeter.. or you can simply remove it, clean it up and bolt it back into place. They also use a FET transistor in this circuit as well to provide ground to the blower motor which could be bad causing this condition. This FET transistor is located near the blower motor under the dash.
Where is the negative supply wire on a Kia air blower?
The negative supply wire is fed through the MOSFET chip which sits on a small aluminium heat sink and is fitted into the air flow pipe under the right of the passenger footwell so the blower airflow cools it.

When did I replace the blower on my Kia discovery?
Ok, we replaced our 25 year old Discovery with an 06 reg Sportage XE petrol, in March and we love her. Perfect for me, my old mum and for a 4×4 low enough for our dog to get in or for us to lift her in for emergency vet visits (there have been some).
How is the blower fan on a Kia Sportage Gen 2?
Hi i have had some experience with the blower fan on the Sportage gen 2. One thing to note is the term resistor is a misnomer on this model and it uses a an electronic MOSFET chip to control the speed. The fan is fed with 12 volts on the positive wire all the time the ignition is on via a relay and 40 amp fuse.
How does the negative side of the Kia blower work?
It works by controlling the negative side of the blower by switching it on and off, the faster it switches, the more current the motor can draw It is hard to check with a meter due to the fast switching although some higher makes like Fluke can pick up the pulses.

What happens when the Kia Sportage heater stops working?
At this point, the blower motor blows air across the it and the newly heated air blows on to the driver and passengers. If the heater has stopped working in your Sportage, this process has failed in one way or another. A word of caution: If there is no coolant in your overflow, you can refill it by adding more to the overflow reservoir.
Why is the heater not working on my Buick Enclave?
Not having a functioning heater makes driving much less comfortable, and can be a sign of certain issues. At the simplest level, there are two main reasons why the heater is not working. If it’s not coming on at all, it’s usually either the blower motor or some other wiring issue.
