My 2005 avalanche heater fan with auto climate control stopped working. The fuses are all good, and the fan blower tests good by hooking it direct to battery.

I had checked the wires at the blower resistor and there is power in the red wire but could not seem to get power from the little purple/white wire. Am I doing something wrong in my testing of this wire? My thoughts are that my HVAC control module has an issue. Could I be mistaken. When testing the smaller wire what setting should have I been on. Volts or Amps? I tried it at high and low setting and nothing. Thanks for your answers people. I didn't realize that when testing the little purple/white wire it has to be back probed to test it. Unplugging and testing it won't work because it is pulsed.

There is a resistor in the fan circuit to give you different speeds and it burns out. It's down by the fan on most cars.

Testimonial: "Thanks. It was the resistor not feeding the blower."

does it have a digital control panel? As this uses an electronic blower speed controller located at the engine compartment (rear engine block) fix on ac phlenum try to shake the connector or wire while the system is on.

Disconnect the module and power the motor direct from the battery and see what happens.-----------The problem is the blower motor control module is shorted. This is a common concern these trucks. The blower control module is located next to the blower motor. It has 2 wires that come out of it and goes to the blower motor, it also has a small wire harness going in to the module. If you unplug this module, the blower will stop. You need to replace this module to repair this issue. The module is plug and play, no programing needed.
--------

This module have one plug that goes into the unit and two wires going out of it to the blower motor

with two mounting bolts and two silver plates on the othe side of it.

Why wont my a/c or heater fan come on?

When the blower works only on the high setting its usually a bad blower resistor which is right near the blower motor. now you say it would always blow high regardless of the fan speed setting that would indicate probably the climate control unit or a connector problem somewhere. finally it not working at all may be the climate control unit or connection went bad even further. it might have a blown fuse or a bad blower motor in addition to the climate control unit or connector problem .check for power and ground at the blower motor. the power is supplied from fuses and may have a relay also. the ground is supplied from the climate control unit and goes through the resistor to control the fan speed. good luck

My bmw 318 is blower fan not working

Blown Fuse
  • Usually the first thing to inspect when the blower fan stops working is the fuses to see if any are blown. Locate the 10A cluster fuse or the 25A HVAC fuse in your car manual, and examine them to determine if they need replacing. The car owner's manual will tell you where to find the fuses that are connected to the heat and/or air conditioning. On the interior fuse panel of the car, a 30 amp fuse is labeled "Heater" or "HVAC."

Bad Blower MotorIf the fan only works on setting number 3 or 4, or just on the highest setting, it is most likely that your blower motor is failing and is about to die. Use a voltmeter to test the amount of voltage at the blower motor connector with your ignition on and AC running. If it reads 12V, the motor needs replacing.Automatic Climate Control SystemAnother thing that causes the blower fan to malfunction is the Automatic Climate Control System (ACCS). If the ACCS's settings are off, it may cause the fan to stop working. If it is the climate control on the car, typically it is a bad thermostat or electrical circuit that is the culprit.
hope this helps, James Booth

Blower motor will not operate I tested motor with direct 12 volts and it fine, can I bypass the climate control module for now I am told replacement is very costly.

yes run a wire from a ignition source then a toggle switch to motor then other side of motor to earth ,that will keep you warm ,nothing worse than driving a cold jam jar ,iam old enough to remember when heaters on cars were optional extras

Heater fan

First check the fuses, all the fuses it maybe hook to something else always check them all. If OK check to see if you have power to the blower motor by unconnected the plug-in and hooking a test light to a good ground on the car and putting on each terminal of the lead going to the motor when the key is on. one of them should turn the light on. if it does then your going to need a blower motor most likely.
