Schematic Reference: HVAC Schematics

DEFINITION: The blower motor operates in at least one, but not all, speed positions.

Did you perform the HVAC Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - HVAC Systems - Manual

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the mode switch in the vent position.
3. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the blower motor operate in each speed position?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the blower motor supply voltage circuit and a good ground.
5. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate when the blower motor switch is in each speed position?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 4

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor resistor assembly connector.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit of the blower motor resistor assembly and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 10

Important: The blower motor switch must be in the correct speed position for the blower motor control circuit being tested.

1. Probe each blower motor control circuit with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
2. Place the blower motor switch in the appropriate speed position for the blower motor control circuit being tested.

Does the test lamp illuminate when the blower motor switch is in each speed position?
