How can I test my blower motor to see if it still works? Nothing comes out when I turn the fan speed on.
thanks guys,
ryan
Check your fuses first.
on all speeds??? Either way, it’s probably your fan resistor… mounts in the top of the fan housing behind the dash towards the glove box… pick it up at the dealer so you know what to look for. That is what goes wrong 9 times out of ten.
on all speeds nothing comes out.

Use a test light on the plug and check for power at the motor. you can also use a cordless drill battery with some jumper wires directly to the motor. I would say that prettyboy is probably right the resistor breaks (very common problem). It is on the blower housing behind the glove box. You will have to remove the glovebox assy to get to it. It is the black thing on the right with the cream plug with blue wires sticking out. unhook the harness remove the two screws. Once you pull it out you can tell if it is bad. If any of the coils are broken it is bad.
how much will the resistor run???
thanks,

Call the dealer and ask. It should not be more than $20.00
If the resistor were bad, he would still get air but the speed wouldn’t change with the nob. First thing to do is check the wires under the passenger dash going to the motor. Sometimes these get accidentally kicked by the passenger and break off or come off. If you need a new (remanufactured) blower motor, they’re $60 from www.thepartsbin.com. I got one, they have excellent service.
