heater blower - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My blower on my heater went out this morning. just quit, then came back on for a minute, then went off again. I checked the fuse, its ok. checked all connections, they are ok. I pulled off the wire that plugs into the blower motor, and checked it with a test light, didn't get any current. could it be the switch ? are they prone to go bad ? maybe a bad motor ? any ideas ? thanks.

Hook the blower up to the battery with a jumper wire. See if it turns on.

If its an ac truck could be a bad relay. (not sure if the non-ac has a relay) Be sure to check the resistor as well.
The blower in mine is 39 years old. Still works fine. The relay has been replaced.

it is a a/c truck, where will I find the relay, and the resistor ? thanks for the help.

The top circle is the resister (one going into the HVAC box.) Bottom is the relay. Visual inspection normally works for the resistor.

If above checks don't work, you might have to remove the HVAC dash control and wiggle the harness connector to the control. My truck had a bad harness and was not making a good connection. A new AC Delco harness is still available if that is your problem.
