According to my wiring diagram, the blue and white wire from the blower motor gets power from the key switch. The fan switch and resistor grounds the motor.
No blower fuse is listed.

SOURCE: 1985 honda prelude heater blower fan/fuse? problem

yes there is a fuse
what kind of nest? did something chew through a wire?
could be under dash or the fuse box under the hood if you still have it check the owners manual in the glove box dont jump steps and just replace the fan could be fruitless

SOURCE: My ac/heater stopped working yesterday

Yes, I would check the 40A fuse for 'Heater Motor' but there may be another fuse under the dash that controls the ac/heater.

I would get a fuse tester from Walmart or a parts store included with a set of various fuses.

The fuse tester can be used to quickly test all of the fuses in a particular box in maybe 5 minutes of your time.

It's like a miniature test light that goes on when an energized fuse has a break in it. This saves a lot of time and the risk of putting the fuse back where it does not belong.
---
Inspect/Test/Replace There are three basic types of fuses in automotive use: blade, ceramic, and cartridge.
f14-353184.jpg Blade fuse, ceramic fuse, and cartridge fuse.
Occasional fuse failure can be due to a defective fuse. Corrosion on the end of the fuse can cause failure too.
The cartridge fuse is found on most older domestic cars and a few imports. To check this type of fuse, look for a break in the internal metal strip. Discoloration of the glass cover or glue bubbling around the metal end caps is an indication of overheating.
Late-model domestic vehicles and many imports use blade or spade fuses. To check the fuse, pull it from the fuse panel and look at the fuse element through the transparent plastic housing. Look for internal breaks and discoloration.
The ceramic fuse is used on many European imports. The core is a ceramic insulator with a conductive metal strip along one side. To check this type of fuse, look for a break in the contact strip on the outside of the fuse.
A visual check of the fuses in questions can sometimes show a burned fuse. Sometimes, a fuse can blow where it cannot be seen.
f37-193184.gif Test a questionable fuse with an ohmmeter.
All types of fuses can be checked with an ohmmeter or test light. if the fuse is good, there will be continuity through it.
When inspecting fuses, also inspect the fuse link:

  • Fuse link wire is covered with insulation that bubbles if a fuse link melts.
  • The blisters on the insulation indicate the failure in the fuse link.
  • If the insulation appears good, pull lightly on the wire.
  • If the link stretches, the wire has melted.
  • Of course, when it is hard to determine if the fuse link is burned out, check for continuity through the link with a testlight or ohmmeter.

Heater/AC blower doesn't work at any speed

I would start by looking for a fuse that blew out. Depending on the vehicle, it could be clearly labled. fuse could be under the hood, or under the dash. it the fuse is good, next, could be a short, and most likely in the motor itself. What kind of vehicle; year, model? Dave

Heater fan not working

The three most common problems for heater fans are
  1. Burned-out blower motor resistor. This is usually located on the engine side of the firewall. Sometimes one section of the resistor is burned out but others are still good, so the blower only works on the highest speed settings. If you have a burned-out resistor, check the blower bearings to make sure they are not stiff and causing the motor to draw too much current.
  2. The blower is actually working, but either the intake vent is plugged (I've seen vehicles with the heater core completely blocked by dirt, leaves and insects that came in through the vent), or the heater door is stuck closed.
  3. The motor bearings have gone bad (see # 1). This can cause the fuse to blow, although the resistor usually fries first.
I'm not sure how your car's cabin environmental control system is fused. Check any fuse that might apply, such as Vent/AC, HTR, FAN, etc. Generally you can identify the state of a blade-type fuse by inspection without removing it. If you have a blown fuse, check the blower motor before wasting money on a new fuse that will probably blow. Like any fan, it's supposed to turn easily, and there should not be any roughness or side-slop in the bearings.

Heater fan won't work in 2000 Chevrolet Blazer. Dont know which fuse is for the heater.

GM has a fuse panel on the left side under the dash. The fuses are labled HTR/AC. There is also a set of overload relays under the hood on the driver's side. They are also labled. The owner's manual has a diagram showing both the location and type of fuse to use. Cleaning the sockets with electrical cleaner when you replace the fuses helps them to make better contact.

Heater fan don't work,don't know which fuse operates heater fan

Hi!!
Look in engine compartment close to battery for fuse box, remove cover and inside cover there is a diagram of fuse/relay locations.
You are looking for a fuse and relay, it should say blower fan or AC blower fan. First check fuse, if Fuse is ok. check Relay.
Good Luck!! Don't forget to rate this post!!

I have a 1986 f150 and the heater fan does not work. Figured it was either fuse problem or fan motor is bad. Would like to check fuse but i have no diagram for the fuse box and no owners manual

I had this same truck but don't remember which fuse right off hand. The heater motor uses one of the heaviest fuses in the box though. Start checking your biggest amperage fuses and work down from there. If the fuses are good and if you can locate the motor leads you might be able to bypass the fuse box by connecting it to a battery or jump box. This will tell you if the motor is good. Don't let the motor run without the fuse though. See if it turns and IMMEDIATELY disconnect it from the battery/jump box. We're only seeing if we can get a reaction. The motor only needs to come on. Don't let it STAY on. Don't run your heater without the fan. It can destroy the heater coil and that's bad news.

Blower on the heater/AC not working on 1998 Escort, checked fuse under dash?

Ok, first off, check the fuses under the dash. If they're all good, does the blower work only on high speed? If yes, then you have a bad blower motor resistor, which is located under the hood, near the blower motor itself. If the motor doesnt work at all at any fan speed, make sure the wiring harness that plugs into the motor under the hood is clean and tightly installed. If it still doesnt operate, sometimes tapping on the blower motor housing will kick it on, but if that doesnt work, you may have to replace the blower motor. They are available aftermarket, and arent usually too expensive.

Heater in 91 sentra

Check to see if their is power and ground at blower motor with test light. It is located under glove box area.you can make a test light with a tail light bulb and two wires. If no power the fan resister, fan switch, fuse or wiring is bad.
