BLOWER MOTOR
The rear blower motor and blower wheel are located inside the rear heater-A/C unit, which is located in the right rear quarter panel. The blower motor controls the velocity of air flowing through the rear heater-A/C unit by spinning a wide squirrel cage-type blower wheel within the housing at the selected speed. Rear blower motor speed is controlled by regulating the ground path through the rear blower motor switch and the rear blower motor resistor.

The rear blower motor will only operate when the ignition switch is in the ON position and the front heater-A/C control is set to either front control of rear heater-A/C unit or the rear control position of the rear heater-A/C unit. The rear blower motor receives a fused battery feed through a fuse in the relay and fuse block whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position. The relay and fuse block is attached to the back of the junction block, under the left side of the instrument panel in the passenger compartment.

The rear blower motor, blower wheel, and blower wheel housing cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced as a complete factory-balanced unit.
