Default Heat doesnt work

Hey im a noob to the blazer world. Just recently replaced both front fenders on my 1994 s10 blazer. Heat works sometimes but often it doesnt. Could I have messed something up in the process? I checked the fuse its fine. From searching i read about the blower motor. Only problem is I dont know where to find it. Any help would be great and please dont bite my head off.

you mean the fan doesnt blow all the time? its possible it could be the blower motor. it should be located on the passanger side towards the cab of the blazer. like if you pop the hood it will be located in the back left corner. if it doesnt come on just smack it with a hammer or whatever and if it turns on you will need a new blower motor

Gimpy is right, check your ground(s).

if everything was working fine, which it sounds like it was, then there's a good chance you messed the ground up. not on purpose, but it's not hard to do.


he's also right that you should get yourself some sort of a manual for it. sincew you never included your location in your posting info, we can't really tell you where to get one.

while you can get a Hayne's maunual, they're ok, for the basic stuff, but not that great. get yourself a FSM, it'll be well worth it,especially if you plan on keeping the truck for awhile.

FYI, FSM stands for Factory Service Maunual.

Right here if yours is a 94. If not theyhave other years. You have to search around the site.Don't know if you need the Unit Repair Manual. It gets into stuff like overhauling the power steering pump. You definately need the Service Manual and the Driveability and Emissions/Electrical Diagram Manuals.

I just order a 1992 CHEVY S10 BLAZER TRUCK Factory Shop Service Manual

Be careful ordering a none GM Service Manuel{General Motors}, if its not by GM, it may not contain the information you need.

If he ordered from Helm, it's the real deal. Adistra Publications used to publish the manuals but I giess they switched. Helm is listed in the back of the Owner's Manual.
