Blower only works on level 1, 2 and 3

Ive had this problem in the past and suspected it to be the blower motor resistor again. So today I changed the resistor and had no change. The heat and A/C still only work on levels 1-3 and 4 and 5 do not. What next

You need to check the wiring connector for the resistor pack, sometimes the connections overheat and melt the plastic.

SOURCE: Blower motor or resistor?

Yes its the blower motor resistor.

More then likley theres some trash or something in it, or possibly the motor itself is on it's way out. There not that bad to pull out of that body car, just pull it out and see what you can see.

The blower motor is under the glove compartment

You can replace the resistor on your own. Please find a detailed diagram which would guide you to do it.

I had a truck about the same year with the same problem, it was the wiring harness, but id check the resistor and the fan first before replacing anythings,

SOURCE: Blower motor now only works in 5th speed, 1 to 4 not working

You are going to have to make a connector for your resistor to fit into the adapater under the dash. the new resistor doesnt reach the terminals on the connector. Even though it clips in place it doesnt reach. I took a piece of small soldier and put in the connector then plugged it in and it worked just fine. When you unplug the relay it will not work in any speed.

SOURCE: 2005 Chevy Surban blower motor resistor

mine did the same thing. It was the gears breaking off in the resistor. However, the wiring harness and resistor melted inside of the dashboard AND DID NOT trigger the fuse... causing a safety issue. This was this past month. I notified GM and the National Highway Traffic Saftely Administration hotline located in the owners manual. They are not tracking this problem to see about safety recall. If you have this issue, you need to ntify them as well at their toll free number

2000 Chevrolet Impala blower motor work from 1-4 but not on 5th speed why?

The blower motor relay is energized when the Blower Motor Control is set to the High position. This removes the blower motor resistors from the circuit and battery voltage is then applied directly from the HVAC BLO fuse (RH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) to the blower motor though the relay switch contacts. The blower motor then runs at high speed.

HVAC Blower Controls Circuit Description
The blower motor is a variable speed motor. The motor operates at a higher rate when voltage is increased to the maximum level.
The blower motor resistors reduce the voltage supplied from the A/C FAN fuse (LH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) when the blower control is set at low and medium speeds (speeds 1-4). The blower motor relay is energized when the Blower Motor Control is set to the High position. This removes the blower motor resistors from the circuit and battery voltage is then applied directly from the HVAC BLO fuse (RH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) to the blower motor though the relay switch contacts. The blower motor then runs at high speed.

Randomly the climate control wont work. You can hear the hot/cold will work, and the settings want to work. But when you turn the dial to 1-2-3-4-5 it does nothing at all. Anything I can do at home? T

Hi! Sounds like the blower motor is not working. I would suspect a bad connection at the blower resistor or the blower motor. Either one of these item themselves could also cause the problem

Replaced resistor yesterday, all good today blower ran and then stopped, got back in van blower again ran but stopped after a few minutes

I would suspect the motor is defective, it may have burned out the new resistor. as well. Tap the motor with a hammer handle to jar it, if it starts it is defective for sure.

The fan switch only works on level 5 out of 5... is this the selector switch?

You probably have a faulty blower motor resistor, this electronic part controls blower motor fan speed. This part is located near the blower motor, unhook the electrical connection and you will see 2 screws holding the part in place. This part looks like some type of circuit board, Good luck, Gary

The HVAC blower fan on my 2001 Pontiac Aztec stopped working on settings 1-3 several weeks ago. Last week it stopped working at setting 4 and today it stopped working all together. What is the most likely...

the blower not working on settings 1-3 is the blower motor resistor. this limits the power provided to the blower motor itself to change the speed. at setting 4 it is getting full power. since it quit on 4 also, i would still say the resistor needs to be replaced first, then see if the blower comes back. you may also need a blower motor. if you have a voltmeter you can just turn the switch to 4 and see if the motor is still getting 12 volts. if it is and doesn't run, it needs a blower motor too. if it's not, then its just the resistor
