Thread: blower motor

well i got this car about 4 days ago and have been working on it nonstop and have only put about 15mi on it but had planed to take it for a 5hr trip Wednesday.it is a 2000 4dr gtp.the blower motor has worked fine for me and the previous two owners but all of a sudden i got in it today and it doesn't work.so first i checked all fuses and there fine then i took the connector off the blower motor to check for power. there are 2 wires blk for ground and then a purple the purple had power witch made me think the blower was bad but then i realized i didn't have the blower on so i turned it on and it still has power but why does it have power when its off also??? is there another connector im not seeing that could be switch power??? basically im not wanting to pull the blower go spend 100 bucks on one and come home to find it wasn't the problem so any help would be much appreciated thanks again brandon

just tested the wire again and its getting 12v with the blower turned on or off im tempted to just go get a new blower but im not sure that thats the problem yet and its a 45min drive to the parts store for me any input ???

yes it wont work on any speed it is the digital display one with dcc and yes it just stoped never showed any sines of going bad if it was the rezister wouldnt i more than likely loss a few speeds at a time idk and im still stumped about the blower getting constent power i did just install a new cd player tho maybe some how it did something

usually blower resistor is just one and two speed if i'm not mistaking... or it starts with 1 and 2.. i'd try the ignition. there a step by step with pictures somewhere to fix that

everything els seams to be working fine

If you have voltage at the connector then its obviously not the damn ignition switch. Use your DVOM and test the resistance of the blower motor. If its way high or reads OL then its bad. If its reading lower resistance, check elsewhere. My bet is the motor is gone.
