A bad blower motor control processor ! Electronic's !
Blower Motor Control Processor
The blower motor control processor is an interface between the HVAC control module and the blower motor. The blower motor speed control, battery positive voltage and ground circuits enable the control processor to operate. The HVAC control module provides a PWM signal to the control processor in order to command the blower motor speed. The processor supplies 12 volts to the blower motor through the blower motor voltage supply circuit. The control processor uses the blower motor ground as a low side control to adjust the blower motor speed.

Ac/heater doesn't turn off on a 2004 Pontiac grand prix

Usually a break down in the Blower Motor "resistor" the resistor is bad, not the blower motor...you may need to unplug the blower motor until you find and install the resistor...your parts store can confirm the right part, and location. Hope this helps.

2002 gran prix Head lights come on when blower is on high

Sounds like a bad ground connection to the blower housing. Try to eliminate this by connecting one 'battery jumper cable' from the ENGINE or battery (neg) to the blower motor housing. You may have to get clear of some plastic to reach it. Does this change how things work?

2005 Pontiac Gran Prix blower does not work. I check the fuse at HVAC fuse at the end of the dashboard and it is OK. The switch itself activates the AC light on and off when I turn it...

Check the blower motor which is behind the right side of the dash, in the lower right side of the HVAC Assembly, above foot area of the passenger floor. The other thing to test is the blower motor resistor which should be next to the blower motor.

Heater and ac blower

I have an '04 with approx. 79000 miles; the blower is going out on mine too. The motor is probably burned out and you will need to replace it. It's about $90 for the part. Kind of a pain to change; I changed the blower motor on my 97 'prix and I had to lay upside down on the passenger seat and work on it upside down. Other than a little physically uncomforable, not too hard to do.

2004 pontiac gran prix gt

I would suggest replacing the blower motor resistor. When this component fails the blower will only work on one spped or none. This is a very common issue with all automotive models
