SOURCE: heat/ac blower motor works on high. intermittent on other speeds.

Check the blower resistor pack - usually located in the heater air ducting in the blower fan airflow. Check for loose connections and open circuit resistors on the unit.
If speed 4 works always, its unlikely to be the blower motor ground connection.

SOURCE: Blower on heater works sometimes, sometimes it

Sounds like the blower resistor. It will either be located in the engine compartment outside the motor or inside the vehicle inside the blower motor cover. It could also as well be selector switch

Heater fan stop working in a 1996 sierra truck

did all speeds stop working or does it have high only?
if none of the speeds are working then you need to verify you are getting voltage to the motor, if you have voltage the motor is out, no voltage check the heater control relay.
if it blows only on high then its the blower motor resistor located in the duct work under the dash around the glove box area

98 buick heater stop working

Its faulty blower motor resistor. The low and medium speed on blower motor is controlled by resistor and its actual speed is high. So because resistor is not working, blower motors actual speed which is high is working.


It can be faulty blower motor or faulty blower motor resistor. Get the blower motor inspected. If it's faulty it has to be replaced.

My heater stop working suddenly on my car. It just stop working completely and all together ... Air condition and everything.... How can I troubleshoot the problem? It was working fine one minute and then...

I assume you mean that the blower motor quit running. Did you try it to see if it will run on any speed? If it won't run on high, but runs on the lower speeds, it is most likely a bad blower motor high relay. If it will not blow on any speed, it could be the blower motor fuse (In which case, you must find out why it blew or it will only happen again.) or the blower motor itself. Buick Century is known to burn the connector at the blower motor. There is a replacement connector available in the aftermarket to repair this. I personally recommend replacing the blower motor also if it is a burned connector because the blower motor is usually partially shorted internally, which is what causes the connector to get hot and burn.

The blower motor for the heater/AC does not work after replacing it. All fuses are ok

OK, history would be nice. What a/c do you have, Manual or Auto/Electronic? All Speeds? Why did you replace the motor. If the fuses are ok, did you check for power at the motor? if it has power and ground, it HAS TO WORK, or the motor is bad. If you did not check for power, then if you have Manual A/C, Turn blower switch to HIGH SPEED, check the PURPLE wire (at the motor), if it does not have power, then check RED wire at the BLOWER RELAY. The RED wire should be HOT AT ALL TIMES. If the Red Wire is HOT but the Purple wire is not, then check the ORANGE wire at the blower relay, it should be hot (if the orange wire is not hot you may have a bad blower switch ). If the RED and Orange wires are hot, then the relay may be bad, You can by- pass the relay to see if all is ok but connecting the RED AND PURPLE WIRES. The blower should run at high speed. I dont want to look at the Electronic A/C, its more complicated and I dont want to waste time if thats not what you have.

What will make a blower in a car only work on high 0n a 1996 sunfire

Could be two things. Heater control..or heater switch. Or the moter is not recieving the reostat info from control. Check at heater wher wires go into it..as you change positions of switch you should see a voltage drop or increase, if u do then the moter is bad...if u do not then replace the heater control unit. :)
