In the thick of this hot-as-hell summer, my wife's 2004 Grand Prix has had a couple of occurances where the blower doesn't operate.
At times it will then on its own start running. The blower motor runs quiet and the air conditioning compressor does what it is supposed to do. I tried to get the fan to operate with the air conditioner on and off. I tried with the fan setting on for the dash and the floor. It didn't matter, the fan kicked on when it wanted to.
I wondered if it could be a fan relay, but it appears these cars do not have one. Then I found air conditioner relays and resistors listed on the parts web pages. So perhaps that is how fan relay is defined for these cars.
Does anyone have any experience with relays/resistors going out on Grand Prixs? I can try to test the relays and resistor. I would think a Haynes manual will have the procedure of how to go about doing that.
Does anyone know how difficult it is to access the resistor? It used to be located on the blower motor/evaporator core case on the fire wall. Did GM bury this thing someplace else? At least the fan came on and the a/c works....for now.
Thanks for your input.
