The brushes in the blower motor are worn out and need renewing or a new motor if the parts are not available

SOURCE: trans started shifting hard &speedometor

this is likely due to the unit that sends the speed signal to the computer. Without this information the speedometer won't work and neither will the odometer/tripmeter. without the speed signal the computer has to use other information like engine speed to determine shift timing, but that is less accurate that ground speed and so it won't shift as smooth. I would start by checking the sensor located at the back of the trans on 2wd and in the transfer case in 4x4 models.

The a/c in my acura legend 1995 stopped working while it was running. The button still works because when I turn on the a/c button, I hear a click right under the blower fan but the blower will not c

Check the power going to the motor to see if it's good. If it's ok, you can try tapping on the motor with handle of a screw driver or something similar, it might kick on. If there is no power, check the fuse. Otherwise there might be a switch or module problem.

The blower motor stops working sometimes on my 2007 Hummer H3. Sometimes you can turn the ignition off and wait a little while, then restart it and the blower starts working.

I had the same problem and sloved it with the help of google images, hummer blower motor resistor. Under the glove box the blower motor resistor can be found. It comes loose and the blower will work at times. When I reached under and pushed the connector in, it works fine. It was fixed within minutes. I am a gal with a Hummer and save myself a huge dealer bill. Good Luck!

I Have 1997, 850 Volvo with Intermittent A/C Problem.

Most probably it is the clutch gap on the compressor. I had the same problem on my 1998 V70.

See instructions on how to fix it on the Volvo forum.

Hi Check the termial block wireing going into the blower resister as the power wire is a small gauge( too small in my estimation) for the load it carrys and gets very hot at the terminal block. Check to see if wire and block are burned. There is a repaire kit for this from Chysler.--$30.00
I had the same problem-- Use a jumper wire form the blower back past the resister to the power wire(red I think) to see if the blower starts up when its in one of its down sessions.
