AC fan speed

AC fan only works on high speed. all low speeds are inop.

  • Anonymous May 17, 2009

    Fan motor resister, mine died at 70K, quick swap, got the part from the (chevy, not toyota) dealer (the parts are different). a few google searches or a helpful counter guy will help you find where it is located, mine was a like a circuit board, all delaminated, and some shorts, I expect poor design for location, I here this is a common problem.

    Hey Jetlag, sorry, don't know the answer to your problem (faulty switch ? would be a guess). How about when u turn on heat, no air, does the fan operate in all speeds?

I had this same problem in my chevy prism-- my fan regulator had broken. (apparently it usually happens around 100k miles, i hear) in my car, the vents wouldn't even blow air at all on anything but high--- not just AC, but normal vented air as well.

cost about $80 to have the problem fixed by my mechanic in Jersey. hope that helps!

I have a 2007 Monte Carlo I'm getting a reading engine hot /A/C not working I did change sensor and still getting the same reading and checked all fuses what else can i do

Take it to a qualified repair shop that has diagnostic information (shop manual ) An has a professional scan tool . Changed what sensor ? Coolant temp ? You don't guess an just replace parts . Doing a full vehicle scan ,checking for DTC'S in all the modules on the vehicle.

ENGINE HOT A/C OFF
Refer to Cooling System Description and Operation
Do the radiator cooling fans work ?
The engine cooling fan system consists of 2 electrical cooling fans and 3 fan relays. The relays are arranged in a Series/Parallel configuration that allows the engine control module (ECM) to operate both fans together at low or high speeds. The cooling fans receive positive voltage from the cooling fan relays which receive battery positive voltage from the underhood fuse block.
During low speed operation, the ECM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay, which is Fan 1 Relay, through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the low speed fan relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and supplies battery positive voltage from the Fan 1 Fuse through the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the left cooling fan. The ground path for the left cooling fan is through the Series/Parallel relay, which is Fan 2 Relay, and the right cooling fan. The result is a series circuit with both fans running at low speed.
During high speed operation, the ECM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. The ECM grounds the high speed fan relay, which is Fan 3 Relay and the Series/Parallel relay through the high speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the Series/Parallel relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and provides a ground path for the left cooling fan. At the same time the high speed fan relay coil is energized, the relay contacts close to provide battery positive voltage from the Fan 2 Fuse on the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the right cooling fan. During high speed fan operation, both engine cooling fans have their own ground path. The result is a parallel circuit with both fans running at high speed.
When the requests for fan activation is withdrawn, the fan may not turn OFF until the ignition switch is moved to the OFF position or the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 10 mph. This is to prevent a fan from cycling ON and OFF excessively at idle

How do I replace blower motor resistor?

U are on the right track. But check this out - is the low speed on the blower the only thing that is not working? Could be other things, such as lights that you are not aware of.

On some cars the low speeds for the blower work thru the ignition switch. If something is wrong with the switch the fan will work on high speed only but the lower speeds are inoperative.

My ac is not working I have a Chevy Tahoe 2005 the fans won't turn on either .

Hi Maria , The A/C system wouldn't keep the fans from running but none working cooling fans will keep the A/C from working ! This is a fairly complex system if your not familiar with this sort of thing ! I will add the description from the factory service manual.
Cooling Fan Control - Two Fan System
The engine cooling fan system consists of 2 electrical cooling fans and 3 fan relays. The relays are arranged in a series/parallel configuration that allows the powertrain control module (PCM) to operate both fans together at low or high speeds. The cooling fans and fan relays receive battery positive voltage from the underhood fuse block.
During low speed operation, the PCM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the low speed fan relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and supplies battery positive voltage from the low fan fuse through the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the left cooling fan. The ground path for the left cooling fan is through the cooling fan s/p relay and the right cooling fan. The result is a series circuit with both fans running at low speed.
During high speed operation the PCM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. After a 3 second delay, the PCM supplies a ground path for the high speed fan relay and the cooling fan s/p relay through the high speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the cooling fan s/p relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and provides a ground path for the left cooling fan. At the same time the high speed fan relay coil is energized closing the relay contacts and provides battery positive voltage from the high fan fuse on the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the right cooling fan. During high speed fan operation, both engine cooling fans have there own ground path. The result is a parallel circuit with both fans running at high speed.
Do you have a check engine light lit ? The thing to do would have it check at the dealer or a ASE certified repair facility ! They could hook up a advanced scan tool an diagnose fairly quick ! Or you could find a wiring diagram an try testing with a volt meter yourself ! But watch yourself so you don't short out the PCM - engine computer !

2008 Honda Odyssey AC fan works on low and med speeds but no high speed blower

There should be a high speed blower relay that bypasses the resistor for slower speeds.
Check with an auto parts store or the dealer.

2005 equinox ac fan only works at low speed. I just had it flushed and coolant added last year

There are two relays for the fans. One is a low speed relay and the other is a high speed relay. There are also fuses for the fans high speed and low. Take the cover off or the under hood fuse box and on the inside of the cover it will give a diagram of the fuses and relays. Try swapping the relays with something else and see if the fans go to high when you turn on the A/C as it always should. Sound like a bad High Speed Fan Relay to me but check it out.

Ac fan motor doesnt work on low speeds only on

I will assume the heater fan also doesn't work on low. You will need to replace the fan speed selector switch

2003 ford focus not putting out much cold air from ac

Make sure the fans are running when AC is on. The fans should run all the time and regulate from high to low speed. If it does not run on low speed the connector for the low speed resistor has burned out. It is located between the two cooling fans and has two wires. Mine was burned and I clipped the wires and replaced the connector with two heavy duty female spade connectors. Cost 4.99 . Ac works fine now. If all the fans are operating correctly and ac is cycling on and off it may be low on freon .
