Why does my blower motor resistor keep blowing?
Why does my blower motor resistor keep blowing?
Trent, one of the biggest reasons for blower motor resistors to have shorten life is actually because of faulty blower motor drawing too many amps, some times melting wires/plugs, heating up resistors shortening their life. Many Dodge forums tell of this problem.
How long do blower motors last in a car?
For the most part, the heater blower motor on your car is supposed to last as long as the actual vehicle does. Due to the harsh conditions that this blower motor has to operate in, it will usually end up having repair issues. There are a variety of problems that the blower motor may have that will render it useless.
What happens if you have a bad blower motor?
The blower motor is the component responsible for pushing air through the vents of your vehicle’s heating and air conditioning systems. Without it, the AC system will not be able to circulate any heated or cooled air.
Why is my front AC blower not working?
I’ve seen many posts from people whose front AC blower would stop occasionally. My wife would kick the wires under the glove compartment and it would start again. It finally failed altogether. Following the advice from other owners, I replaced the blower motor resistor. That didn’t help.
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.
Where does the ground go in a Honda blower motor?
The blower motor control module (Honda calls it Power Transistor) supplies the ground. 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.
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 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.
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 to do if your AC blower is not working?
Disconnect cables to motor and resistor. Remove hose from motor, it should just pull off with little effort. Unscrew motor and resistor. Screw new motor and resistor in. Connect hose to motor. Connect cables to motor and resistor. Turn on car and test AC. Thanks for watching! Loading…
