My heater fan quit working. I don't know if the problem is with the fan or the electrical system (fuse?).

1. Back probe the Brown/Light Green wire and ground the circuit. This should allow the blower to run on high speed. If it does not, replace the controller. Pay attention to the pigtail connection, it is known to get hot and have poor connections. Install connector repair kit part number #05102406AA. Replace the blower motor as well. The blower motor draws high current and damages this connector. Jeep recommends replacing the blower motor controller, blower motor and the repair kit when this happens. YOU CAN ALSO TRY: 1. At the resistor board, ground each wire one at a time and see if each blower speed is working. If not, then it is a resistor problem.

2. If each speed is working then verify the solid Black wire in the C3 connector at the control head is grounded. If it is, then it is a bad switch

If blower motor operates on high speed only. there is a resistor located in heater box by the blower motor. sometimes glove box door needs to be lowered to access. if blower does not work on any speed there is a fuse panel on drivers side by brake pedal under dash. i believe that contains fuse for blower motor should be labeled. if it is blown most likely bad blower motor. if it is not blown u still may have a stuck blower motor but u have to chk for power at b.m. connector

First place to check is fuse box. Look at F-20. It is under the dash, left of the steering wheel.

Here's a link to the fuse box legend...

Here's a link to show you where the fuses sit in the box...

I replaced the bloer fan resistor because my heater fan quit i checked blower motor seperatly the blower works what else could it be ty

It’s in the circuit/wiring that powers fan, I know you already know that, so check any/all fuses/fusible links/etc. first, then use your meter and do a continuity test on the wires that power it, that’ll eliminate one big variable from the equation or it may just solve your problem. If those 2 areas don’t net you any results, it may be the actual fan switch itself causing problems. What are you working on? Make/Model would be great so I can really help you as best I can. You obviously know what you’re talking about so no doubt you’ll figure this out.

Both front and rear heater fans don't work, mechanic says it is an ignition switch?

Both "blower" fuses are fed by the ignition switch. If there is no power to those fuses than the switch is the likely problem.

HEATER FAN QUIT WORKING, COULD IT BE A FUSE?

the fuse box is located under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. there are two seperate boxs, a large one and a smaller one above that. check all the fuses if you dont know the number, they should be listed on the cover. if it is not the fuse, then it could be the connection for the fan, i problem i have had, which is located under the dash and under the glove compartment. you should see the fan there and the connection to the fan. check for melting or arcing around the connection. worst case scenerio would be that the fan is shot. if that is not the case take it in to a specialist to have it looked at.

Heater fan quit working

Horn fuse should be labeled on the fuse block. If it's not, easiest way to check is to just check them all. Use a test light and probe the back side of each fuse on both ends, till you find one that only has power on one side. Horn works with key off but I generally check with key on. Also, you have a horn relay (should be in the power distribution center (basically another larger fuse box, usually on the right fender under the hood. If all else fails, run a "hot" wire right to the horn & make sure it works. Horn "switch" is actualliy part of the signal mechanism and internal parts within the steering column...though these sometimes develop dead spots, it's least likely that it is the source of your problem.

Heater works but fan doesnt work

on the inside of the fuse box door there is a list of what each fuse is for, fuses will be numbered with coresponding numbers and explanation of what there for. also if fuse is ok, chanses are its the resister, its located behind glove box on top of heater box 2 screws hold it in heater box, electric plug with 4 or 5 wires going to it. i just went thru this with my 1995 chevy 1500 pick up. but before you go thru that chk. fuse, chk motor, run 12 volts direct to motor see if it works. now did the motor just quit? or did it work on a couple of speeds before it quit? well at any rate if the motor runs when 12 volts are put to it odds are its the heater resister.
