It is a far reach because you have not bothered to include make and model in your question
try getting up the manufacturers web page and see if it has a parts tab and contact them

Ac/heater fan doesn't work

According to my wiring diagram, the blue and white wire from the blower motor gets power from the key switch. The fan switch and resistor grounds the motor.
No blower fuse is listed.

On a 1988 GMC Safari there is a modular under the hood on the passenger side firewall that activates the heater fan. What is this modular called and how do I replace it?

More than likely the fan motor its self is short to ground try to unhook the wires to the fan motor and install a new fuse and then turn the fan on with the wires removed and if the fuse is still good you know it is the fan motor its self

Heater fan for Chevy 1988 S-10 has gone out. I

Might just have been the right time for the fan to burn out. Buy a new one, junkyard parts are another option, but make sure you test it before you buy it.

You may want to just repair you original motor buy replaceing the brushes in it,any starter/motor repair shop should be able to supply you with brushes that you can make to fit your motor[they are made of carbon so they file down quite easily].

When I turn off my 1988 Buick Lasabre the heater fan stays on.

Check where the wiring goes into the fan motor itself.The power probably goes there first into a blower motor resister.If the resister is shot many times its the same symptoms your describing.If you dont know what it looks like you could stop at a auto parts store to see.

Thanks for your help

Jeez, talk about no luck! OK, I'm assuming that the leak test showed no leaks, so that's a plus. Now, when you say it's not working again, do you mean that the system isn't blowing cold anymore, or that the fan that was installed no longer works? I'm pretty sure you mean the air isn't cold anymore, but it doesn't hurt to make sure:)

OK, so if the fan isn't the cure (since it's working), and you had a recharge done, which worked temporarily, I'm wondering about two possibilites - one, that the expansion valve isn't working (this is what allows the freon to actually cool - it releases the pressure from the compressor, allowing the freon to expand. When it does that, it cools). That could be one solution.

The other, unfortunately, is the heater core. If your system routes through there, and you have a problem with it, it could create the problem with the AC. I don't know how Saab does their AC system though, so I don't know if your heater core is an integral part of the system.

An idea - my Audi has two fan switches for the AC condenser fan - a low speed switch and a high speed switch. If your car has that too, and only one switch is functional, it could be that you're not getting the full AC effect. That would be worth checking into.

I'm in Binghamton, NY, the best part of four hours from you.
