The heater motor quits blowing 1999 Suburban

The blower would quit and when you restart it it would start working again.
Now it doesn't work at all.

    My blower goes on and dies within a few seconds. If i wait a while it will do the same thing. I first noticed the problem a few weeks ago but by leaving the blower on a low setting it would work but that has stopped now.

Fan for heater and defrost has quit. Where is fuse for this as well as location of heater motor if that could be the issue?

The blower motor is located und the passenger side of the dash. There may be a trim panel that needs to removed in order to gain access to it. Once you see it turn the key on and set the blower speed to high. Tap the bottom of the blower motor with the handle of a large screwdriver. If the blower motor starts to work replace it. If it doesn't let me know and I will get you the info you need to further diagnose your problem. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

unplug the heater motor and put a hot wire to it to check the motor if it blows if the wire gets real hot you need to change the heater blower motor. You will probably need to change the heater fan motor resistor. follow the heater fan wire and it will go to the resistor

Heater fan runs for a short time and then sounds like someone holding playing cards in a bicycle tire. Then it quits for a while. I turn it off and ten minutes later it will blow for a while and then quit...

Your blower fan is most likely failing. It sounds like it is rubbing on the cage, which causes the motor to heat up and quit functioning. Once the motor cools down it will operate again. You will need to replace the blower motor and fan assembly.

The blower motor for my 2005 Suburban suddenly

Check voltage at the terminal that connects the blower if the problem is the current blower because eventually the brushes wear out

Heater fan blowing intermittently or not at all

Most likely it does, if you can hit the motor and it will run. I can't say for sure but you might want to chk. to see if you got a heater blower motor resister. There located (if its got one) around the heater motor and it controls blower speeds, might be worth checking out.

Blower Fan will not blow on 1995 Chevy Suburban

It sounds like your blower motor may be bad. I don't know if you know how to check power at your blower motor plug, but you can use a volt/ohm meter or a test light. If you have power (12VDC) , your motor is most likely bad. There is also a resistor block module which has 2 resistors on it. It controls the motor speed basically by restricting the power by directing it thru one of the resistors. The higher the resistance, the slower the motor turns, thus the 3 speeds for the motor. The resistor module is mounted on the blower housing and has 2 screws holding it in with a small plug connected. It is just about straight ahead of the passengers left knee.
You can get used motors from a junk yard pretty cheap.
Good luck
