2006 Chevy Silverado. Blower motor harness and resistor is melted any idea of the part numb ers and a good place to purchase these besides a dealer? Thanks, Joe

Ok the description of problem is lacking some information so I will give you a few places to start from the easy to the difficult. When you say will not turn on I assume you are referring to the blower motor. You do not mention what car or truck assuming that I was in the Chevy section you have a GM car or truck.

Start at the fuse panel and see if there is a defective fuse. (note I have see fuses that look ok but hare bad so if you are not absolutely sure it is cheep to just replace or try a know good if you do not have a tester. The next and most likely culprit is the blower resistor. This is located on the heater box depending on the model /year and options it can be inside car or out side under hood. Replacement can be a two hammer to a all out 4 hammer depending on where it is buried. if the resistor is burned up it is common to have the harness end burned up too so check the end that plugs into harness for melted or burnt contacts, a good tell tail sign is that the plug in harness is melted to the resistor. If the resistor checks out and all is good there then check the blower motor. The blower motor should be checked if the resistor is defective too as a faulty motor that binds or has defective bearings can place heavy loads on the resistor causing it to fail. With out much to go on with your question if the motor is blowing but not much air is moving then check the filter if equipped. I did not mention the control panel as this is usually the last par to become defective on most GM cars and trucks... good luck

Go online to and google" manuel for 2006 chevy silverado 1500 2wd". Or you can go to ask.com and ask" Where is the resister located on a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd". It will give you the info you need.

Remove blower motor resistor and check to see if it discolored or melted. if so then replace blower motor resistor, also blower motor speeds 1-4 go through resistor, 5 goes direct from switch to blower motor. check wire harness connector at resistor, it should have six wires five power wires that corralate with the five settings on switch, so in each switch setting one wire should have power. the sixth wire is the ground. also harness connector to resistor it may be melted, if so go to dealer with vin number and get new harness connector with resistor.
I hope this helped.

The blower motor is under the dash on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the plastic hush cover to get to it. These trucks are prone to this.
The blower motor fails because the resistor/ relay / wiring harness assembly overheats and can melt. Some of these have even caught fire. You're going to want to replace the blower motor resistor/relay and wiring harness assembly assembly too.
Check out all the wiring that goes into the resistor for heat damage. This assembly sits right next to the blower motor right above where the passengers feet would be. The resistor/relay is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and you'll see it right away. Make sure to disconnect the battery before working on any of this so you don't cause any more trouble while splicing in the new harness. I just did this on my 2006 Chevy truck and my blower motor was ok. I just had to replace the resistor/relay and splice in a new wiring harness. It cost $180.00 just for that stuff.

most probably the heater resistor is bad , its just beside the blower motor, with a harness of 4 to 6 wires connected to it , usually blown because the blower motor is drawing too much power

CK THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK AND HARNESS COONECTOR ,THESE CONNECTORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO MELT THE HARNESS CONNECTOR CAUSING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM

Most likely the blower motor resistor. It's mounted next to the blower motor under the dash. Also check the 7 wire plug going to it, GM had a problem with that plug, and the wiring getting hot and melting. The plug is $68.00 from the dealership. One of my customer's car had the same problem.

The switch, high blower speed relay or the wire harness at the blower motor has gone bad. The highest setting 5 has no resistor, so the blower runs on high but the high current flow ends up burning up the switch's contact on that setting or the relay and may be the resistor wire harness at the blower motor has gone bad. Common would be the switch it self, if the switch is good. Then it's going to be the blower relay or wire leads at the speed resistor by the blower motor under the glove box by the passenger leg compartment. Keep me posted, be glad to help you get your Silverado running 100% again soon.

There is an updated resistor/connector package. Very expensive from GM, try your local NAPA or other parts supplier for a replacement

The blower motor and resistor are on the passenger side under the dash.Your truck may have a closeout panel you will need to remove. Look at the resistor wiring as it may be melted to the resistor. If so you will need the connector. Your local dealer should have the part. The connector will come with all white and black wires. Replace them one at a time.
