Blower motor speed not working - 2000 Kia Sportage

The blower motor relay is energized when the Blower Motor Control is set to the High position. This removes the blower motor resistors from the circuit and battery voltage is then applied directly from the HVAC BLO fuse (RH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) to the blower motor though the relay switch contacts. The blower motor then runs at high speed.

HVAC Blower Controls Circuit Description
The blower motor is a variable speed motor. The motor operates at a higher rate when voltage is increased to the maximum level.
The blower motor resistors reduce the voltage supplied from the A/C FAN fuse (LH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) when the blower control is set at low and medium speeds (speeds 1-4). The blower motor relay is energized when the Blower Motor Control is set to the High position. This removes the blower motor resistors from the circuit and battery voltage is then applied directly from the HVAC BLO fuse (RH IP Accessory Wiring Junction Block) to the blower motor though the relay switch contacts. The blower motor then runs at high speed.

Check the AC fan relay
Symptoms Of A Defective Blower Motor Relay
The blower motor relay's job is to basically bypass the current that passes thru' blower motor resistor and deliver it directly to the blower motor. With the blower motor getting full battery current, it'll run in HI speed.

The most common symptom you'll see, when the blower motor relay fails in your Chevy S10 (GMC S15), is that the blower motor will not run in HI speed (but will run in LO, M1, and M2 speeds).

In some cases, the blower motor will fail and the blower motor will not run in HI but you'll have all of the other speeds working.

Fuse for rear air ????? No air coming from rear vent's ? That would be caused by the HVAC blower motor not working . Probably not a fuse issue , if the fuse is blown you have a bigger issue . Fuse's don't just blow for no reason - electrical short circuit, too much current draw etc.. . More then likely it's a problem with the blower motor control module or the blower motor . Located behind the right rear trim panel . But go ahead an check the fuse anyway , fuse # 26 - 25 amp located in the underhood fuse / relay box . marked RR -BLWR/ 110 VAC
Auxiliary Air Speed
The auxiliary blower motor is controlled by the front auxiliary blower motor switch. If the vehicle is equipped with rear DVD (U32), the auxiliary blower motor can be controlled by the overhead console, vehicle entertainment system (VES). The front auxiliary blower switch must be in the AUX position in order to control blower speed from the VES. The VES will send a class 2 message to the HVAC control module requesting a blower motor speed.
The auxiliary blower motor control module is an interface between the HVAC control module and the auxiliary blower motor. The auxiliary blower motor speed control, auxiliary blower motor speed signal, blower motor speed control, and ground circuits enable the control processor to operate. The HVAC control module sends the commanded blower motor speed to the control processor through a 0 to 8-volt linear ramped blower motor speed control circuit. As the blower motor speed control voltage increases, the blower motor speed increases. The control processor sends the actual blower speed to the HVAC control module through a 0 to 12-volt blower motor speed signal circuit. The control processor uses the blower motor ground as a low side control to adjust the blower motor speed. The underhood fuse block supplies 12 volts to the blower motor through the blower motor voltage supply circuit.

Blower Motor Control Processor The blower motor control processor is an interface between the HVAC control module and the blower motor.

This vehicle doesn't have a blower motor resistor ! It has a blower motor control module , if you have automatic climate control !
If manual climate control , then there is a blower motor resistor assembly !
Blower Motor Control Processor The blower motor control processor controls the speed of the blower motor by increasing or decreasing the voltage drop on the ground side of the blower motor. The HVAC control module provides a low side pulse width modulated signal to the blower motor control processor over the blower motor speed control circuit. As the requested blower speed increases, the HVAC control module increases the amount of time that the speed signal is modulated to ground. As the requested blower speed decreases, the HVAC control module decreases the amount of time that the signal is modulated to ground.
Air Speed - Front Control
The blower motor forces outside air into the vehicle's interior. The vehicle operator determines the blower motor's speed when the driver places the blower switch in one of 5 blower speeds. The blower motor will always operate in any switch position other than OFF, as long as the ignition switch is in the RUN position. The blower motor and mode switches are located within the HVAC control module. The blower motor OFF input is connected in series with the HVAC control module by the off blower motor control circuit.
Depending upon the selected speed, power is provided to the blower motor from either the ignition 3 voltage or battery positive voltage circuits from the fuse block. The battery positive voltage circuit only provides power when the High blower switch position is selected. Power and ground are provided to the HVAC control module by the ignition 3 voltage and the ground circuits.
Low Blower Speed When the Low 1 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the low blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between 4 series resistors, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
Medium Blower Speeds When the Medium 1 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the medium 1 blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between 3 series resistors, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
When the Medium 2 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the medium 2 blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between 2 series resistors, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
When the Medium 3 blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the medium 3 blower motor control circuit. Voltage is divided between a series resistor, a blower relay, and the blower motor to achieve the desired blower speed. The blower motor is grounded through the ground circuit.
High Blower Speed When the High blower speed is selected, the HVAC control module applies voltage to the blower motor resistor assembly through the high blower motor control circuit. The voltage energizes the blower relay, causing the blower motor to be connected directly to the battery positive voltage circuit. The blower motor and blower motor relay are grounded through the ground circuit.

Chevy Trailblazer EXT Blower Motor Won Turn Off

Its faulty blower motor resistor. The low and medium speed on blower motor is controlled by resistor and its actual speed is high. So because resistor is not working, blower motors actual speed which is high is working.

It can be faulty blower motor or faulty blower motor resistor. Get the blower motor inspected. If it's faulty it has to be replaced.

HVAC Control Module
The HVAC control module is a class 2 device that interfaces between the operator and the HVAC system to maintain air temperature and distribution settings. The battery positive voltage circuit provides power that the control module uses for keep alive memory (KAM). If the battery positive voltage circuit loses power, all HVAC DTCs and settings will be erased from KAM. The body control module (BCM), which is the vehicle mode master, provides a device on signal. The control module supports the following features:

Check the blower resistor pack - usually located in the heater air ducting in the blower fan airflow. Check for loose connections and open circuit resistors on the unit.
If speed 4 works always, its unlikely to be the blower motor ground connection.
