How do I know if my blower motor module is bad?

How do I know if my blower motor module is bad?

Here are some of the warning signs of a bad heater blower motor resistor:

1. Fan does not work at all, so no air comes out of the vents.
2. Fan only works on some speeds and not others.
3. Fan only works on the highest speed.
4. Fan runs all the time and can’t be controlled with the fan switch.
5. You see smoke coming out of the vents.

What are the symptoms of a bad blower motor relay?

If you have a faulty blower motor, you may experience low airflow from the vents, even when the fan is on high. There will be no air coming from the vents if your fan isn’t working due to a bad blower motor resistor.

Is there a fuse for the heater blower?

Many vehicles have two fuses for the blower motor, one in the interior fuse block and the other under the hood. The blower motor is usually under the dashboard on the passenger side.

In a situation where the motor doesn’t work on any speed, the most likely causes are: a blown power supply fuse, a bad motor ground connection, bad motor speed control module or a failed motor. On all systems, a failed blower motor is least likely.

Can you bypass blower motor resistor?

In the highest speed state, the blower resistor is bypassed completely and the fan is connected directly to the car’s battery, which allows maximum current through the motor. Power to the blower motor is fed through the blower motor resistor, so if it fails or has any issues power can be cut off to the motor.

Why does my blower motor resistor keeps melting?

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.

Where is the blower relay?

The blower relay is located near the front of the fuse block and is labeled “Blower.” Inspect the center of the relay. If the metal rod inside is broken, the relay will need to be replaced.

How can you tell if a blower fuse is blown?

How to check the blower motor fuse? With the fuse box located and the blower, motor fuse identified, go ahead and remove it and check the filament. If it’s broken, the fuse is blown.

Where is the blower motor fuse and relay?

Under the instrument panel, look under the glove box. On the right side of the fender wall you will find another fuse box. The blower motor fuse is easy to replace.

How do I reset my blower motor?

How to Find and Reset your Furnace Motor Blower

1. Step 1: Turn off the power to the furnace.
2. Step 2: Remove the blower compartment cover.
3. Step 3: Make sure the blower is completely cooled off.
4. Step 4: Locate the reset button.
5. Step 5: Press the button in (assuming that this is your issue and that the button has popped).

Why is my car heater not blowing air?

If the heater isn’t blowing any air, a faulty blower motor or electrical connection might be the problem. If the blower doesn’t receive power, check that the blower fuse isn’t blown. A blown fuse often indicates an underlying problem, so never replace one with a larger fuse to prevent it from blowing out again.

Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe heater not working?

While there are a variety of reasons your Hyundai Santa Fe heater is not working, the most common 3 are a broken heater blower motor, a problem with the thermostat, or a failed heater blower motor resistor.

What happens when the blower fails on a Chevy Equinox?

When the blower motor fails, the air conditioner and heater may still work, and heat or cool may be felt at the vents, but the air pressure will be dramatically decreased. This Read More When the heater control valve fails, adjusting the temperature may not change the air temperature at the vents, whether hot or cold.

Why is the heater not working on my Ford Escape?

If the neither hose has any heat, you may have air in the cooling system, low fluid, or low pressure. If you look at your temperature gauge, and the engine is running hotter than normal, but there is not heat coming from the heater you may be having issues with the water pump.

What does the thermostat on a Santa Fe do?

Never touch the radiator cap unless the vehicle is ICE COLD. The job of your Santa Fe’s thermostat is to regulate the temperature of the engine. It does this by allowing water to enter the engine when it is getting hot, and by keeping coolant from entering while the vehicle warms up.
