The blower fan cuts out intermitently regardless of fan speed when I go over a bump or take a corner. The dash had been removed to replace the evaporator and this is when the problem started. When the fan blows I have no problem with the auto ac controls and I get all speeds. Do resistor packs go out intermitently like this or the fan moter? Or is this a gounding issue?

From what you said I would think you have a bad/loose connection. I have never had to change the fan resistor but from what I under stand usually when the resistor is bad the fan only run with the fan speed on the highest setting. If the fan quits working try putting the fan on the highest speed setting, see if fan starts working. Sorry but that all I got for now.

SOURCE: 2002 Chevy Impala Blower resistor location

It is on the passenger side, you have to remove the black plastic kick plate, below the glove box, to expose it (held in place with 2 latches and 1 push pin). The resistor is in front of the blower motor ( sandwiched between the motor housing and the firewall) it is tricky to get to, i think when i changed mine i didnt replace all the screws as they were difficult to remove and even harder to replace. Good Luck, Mike

SOURCE: Blower motor resistor

I believe it's behind the glove box. Once you remove the glove box it's easy to get to. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Blower motor vent selection switch not working

the hvac selector switch in the dash may be the problem.You need to remove the switch and look at the connector on the back of switch,see if there are any burnt wires at the connector or switch.It's all electronic and the switches have been known to burn out on this and other model.

SOURCE: how do I replace the front blower resistor pack

It is located just left (towards the driver side) of the blower motor base. The motor base is on the passenger side under the glove box and is round in shape. Disconnect the wire connector. Remove the two screws that hold the blower resistor into the blower assembly. You may need a short phillips head screwdriver to do this. A standard length screwdriver may be too long and interfere with the sloping foot well at this point.

Heater relay location

Likely the fan blower electrical plug has poor contact or the blower motor or resistor needs replaced (which is what the plug pushes onto).
Under right side (passenger side) of dash, the blower motor casing is in the corner, look for a plug with several wires and just try wiggling it a little or pull off then put back on and see if fan now works on other speeds. If still will not then most likely the resistor needs replaced which can be done by removing the two screws
seen on housing and just pull out. If resistor is bad then the fan will only work on high.

Blower motor works intermitently it comes on when it is hit lightly just below dash on passenger side 2003 caddhs

There is a relay under the dash about where you are hitting the dash. This relay is not closing. When you bump the dash it causes the relay to close. This relay will need replaced.

Trouble shooting climate control intermitting blower problem # 5 speed has not been working for about 3 months # 1 2 3 4 speed is now working intermittingly

GMC has an ongiong problem with the blower motor resistor, look under the dash on the passenger side and you will see the blower housing, unplug the wireing harness that feeds it and look at the plug carefully you will see that the third pin from the left has been over heated and is melted a little. the repair is quick and easy go to your local parts store and purchase a new resistor and a replacement wireing plug, you will have to cut the old plug off and splice the new one in, replace the resistor and your done. I would recomend that the wires be and spliced cut one at a time so as to insure that they are put in the right location.

The heater fan in our 2005 Grand Cherokee will work on all speeds, and then shuts off completely, except on high. All you have to do is bump the dash next to glove compartment, and the fan starts blowing...

See if you can get to the blower motor,and bump it with your hand,if it starts,then the blower motor is bad,replace it,it does sound like this is the problem,if this was at all helpful,please rate,thank you.

Intermitent Fan Functions

if the blower is functional intermittently it could be a couple of different things. Seems as you have already replaced the resistor I would say you should replace the blower thermostat. the device the determines when the blower will kick on is a thermostat. If it is inaccurate it could likewise casue your problem. The best part of all is that in the case of your air unit, its electrical components will all **** out at around the same time, so replacing the component first won't hurt. There is however also a possibility that the blower it self is going ut and therefor is shutting itself off due to drawing to much power and heating up.
