 Subject: Blower motor stopped working
IP: Logged
Message:
While running my AC this afternoon, my blower motor suddenly stopped working. The compressor is still engaging, and cold air is still coming from the vents when I allow outside air to blow though the evaporator while at highway speeds. I checked all of my fuses, and couldn't find any that were blown. Can anyone give me any hints on what to check next? I looked for a plug on the firewall going to the blower motor to see if it was loose, but I didn't see anything that resembles a blower housing in the engine compartment. How do you get to the blower motor on these trucks? Will I have to tear out the glove box and all of the duct work under the dash to get to it? I hope not! Is there an inline fuse that I am overlooking? Truck is a 1992 model with the V8.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Just a quick note, the same thing happened to me. Check the blower motor resistor on the firewall, the coils rust/burn in two. The quick and dirty is to jumper this block, but it should be replaced. I hope this is it because blower motor removal requires major disasembly of the dash and disruption of your a/c charge.

Yep, that's what it turned out to be! Cost about 8 bucks for a new one. Made my day to not have to pull my dash apart!
Thanks guys!

Does this apply to a 2001? My blower stopped working too. I checked all the fuses and relays and they tested out ok. I even took the blower out and applied 12 volts to it and it worked. I also tested the wire (that supplies the juice) to the blower and it was putting out power. Thanks

The resistor on the newer Daks may be inside the cab under the dash near the glove box. Check around - I have a Gen II Dak

Well, looked around, but can't seem to find this thing. Honestly, I don't know what I'm looking for. Does anyone have picture of this block or a good description of it (color/wires)? 2001 Dak. Thanks.
