1997 Blazer fan doesn't work on high
I replaced the blower motor resistor. (I figured I'd get that out of the way first.) I replaced that part after having searched here and that seemed to be the wisdom of the group. Now I'm seeing that the blower motor resistor controls settings 1,2,&3, but not 4/high.
I looked haphazardly at the fuses and didn't see anything. I've replaced the b.m.r. I figure it could be the switch, a short, or the motor. Am I right? How do I go about troubleshooting this the least inconvenient way? I've got a multimeter but I'll probably have to dust it off, ...so go easy. |
The blower motor is obviously OK because it works on 1, 2, & 3. The high speed blower relay is located on the firewall, toward the passenger side of center. It's about a 1" cube, black plastic with 5 wires attached to it. All 4 blower speeds go through the relay, but when you select HIGH, the relay latches and supplies the blower motor with battery voltage.
Dark blue: Supplies voltage to the blower motor from the resistor for speeds 1, 2, & 3. It's obviously OK because you have all of the low speeds. Purple: Goes from the relay to the blower motor, it's also OK because the blower motor works. Black: Splices to the blower motor ground wire and grounds to the rear of the right cylinder head. This is also good on yours. Here's where you'll find the problem: Orange: With the ignition ON, the mode switch set on HEATER, the blower switch on HIGH speed, it must show battery voltage. Red: Must show battery voltage at all times. If the orange and red wires check out OK, the relay is faulty. If either or both fail, post your results. |
you replace the heater control?(the control under the radio) fairly common thing to go if you have all speeds but one
