2001 kia sportage blower motor resister

Could be your blower motor resister,it's located next to blower motor,easy to remove,2 screws hold it on,here's what it looks like takin it easy in the cold,lol,

Could be your blower motor resistor,it's mounted next to the blower motor,Autozone will take part back for refund if it don't fix problem.Here's what it looks like,Here's where the blower motor is.Easy to remove,disconnect electrical connector,remove 2 screws,can't look at it to tell if bad.Here's the relay.

This is usually due to 1 of 3 possible problems.

1. Bad blower motor resistor - attaches to blower motor and regulates fan speeds. Not uncommon to lose 1 speed at a time until you get stuck with only 1 speed
2. Bad blower motor
   
3. Bad heater control module - less likely but still possible the module is bad and the whole unit requires replacing
   

It could be the blower motor resistor, the high position feeds full 12 volt power directly to the blower motor. All lower settings route through the blower motor resistor. It is usually located under the passenger side dash, not far from the blower motor. Two screws secure it to the heater box.

You have a blower motor relay or a blower motor resister that could be bad.The relay is part # 1R2122 $20.79 at rockauto.com. You could jump the relay to see if that's your problem. The Resister is # RU474 $42.89. I would start with the relay. Your switch could also be bad. A simple 12V circuit tester will tell you if you are getting power to the relay terminals.

hi there i was wonder can anyone help me i have replaced my heater blower resister has been replaced and now has stoped working again what is the problem can someone plz help me. the fan is working fine i ran a ground wire and it works but only on high and will not turn off

see a/c gas if low it will not work. can be a fuse too

it is next to the blower fan up under the passengers side, I think it has 3 or 4 wires on the plug, just unscrew the 2 screws and disconnect the plug with the wires on it, www.kiatechinfo.com is a great place to get info on kia's, hope this helps, you need to know why the resister is going bad, this means a short somewhere, if the blower shorta out then the resister will get over heated, check the switch you ajust fan speed with to see if it is working right.

Try checking for power at the blower motor. Not quite sure on yours, but a lot have the switch more or less grounding, with the power at the motor. Remove the resister assembly from the blower housing and check that the coils are not burnt. Quite often this resister needs to be replaced. Frankster016

I just purchaced a 2000 Sportage and am having the same problem. I did find that Autozone.com has a free online manual that you can view and print sections from. I would rather have a book at my side when I repair my car, but until somebody comes up with one we are stuck with the online services.
