Troubleshooting Hints - Blower Controls

FRONT
1. Check the condition of HTR-A/C Fuse 12 and the BLOWER Fuse. If either fuse is open, LOCATE and REPAIR the cause of the overload and REPLACE the fuse(s).
2. Check that Ground G103 is clean and tight.
3. If the front Blower Motor operates only in HI speed, then REPLACE the Blower Motor Resistor/Relay.
4. If the Front Blower Motor operates only for a short period of time in LO, Medium 1, or Medium 2 speeds, then it stops, then it starts again, then the thermal fuses are opening and resetting automatically. REPLACE the Blower Motor.

REAR AUXILIARY
1. Check the condition of RR HVAC Fuse 24 and the RR BLOWER Fuse. If either fuse is open, LOCATE and REPAIR cause of overload and REPLACE Fuse(s).
2. Check that Ground G400 is clean and tight.
3. CHECK that the three Auxiliary Blower Motor Relays are properly mounted in their connectors.

^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other system (Refer to "General Troubleshooting Procedures,"). Diagnostic Aids
