Tip & How-To about Chevrolet Cavalier

No heat blowing

On most vehicles when the heat stops blowing it's usualy not a fuse or a relay but the blower motor or the blower motor resistor.
Here is a good way to check if it's the blower motor. Disconect the plug going in to the blower motor, Now run two long wires from the battery one on the negitive and one to the possitive. put power to the blower motor with theese wires, negitive to one post and possitive to the other .Does'nt matter what post you hook to the blower motor will just spin the opisite way. if the blower motor spins then you can rule out the blower motor and suspect the blower motor resistor is bad. to find the blower motor resistor all you have to do is follow the wirring from the blower motor. The resistor will be at the end of the wirring for the blower. The resistor will be mounted on the heater box near the blower motor and is usually held in by two screws.

Why would my blower, vent, defrost, ac and heater just quit blowing air?

There are several possible reasons why your blower, vent, defrost, AC, and heater might stop blowing air:

1. Blower Motor Failure: The blower motor is responsible for blowing the air through the vents. If the blower motor fails, you will not get any airflow from the vents.
2. Blower Motor Resistor Failure: The blower motor resistor controls the speed of the blower motor. If the resistor fails, the blower motor may stop working or only work at one speed.
3. Fuse or Relay Failure: A blown fuse or faulty relay in the blower motor circuit can prevent the blower motor from working.
4. Control Module Failure: The HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) control module is responsible for controlling the blower motor and other components. If the control module fails, it can prevent the blower motor from working.
5. Vacuum Leak: If your vehicle uses a vacuum system to control the vents, a vacuum leak can prevent the system from working properly.
6. Broken Blend Door: The blend door controls the direction of the airflow. If the blend door breaks or gets stuck, the air may not flow through the correct vents.
7. Wiring or Connector Issues: Faulty wiring or connectors in the blower motor circuit can prevent the blower motor from working.

Hi , I have a 2009 Ford E250 van and all of a sudden the switch that controls the blower motor doesnt activate the blower. I have heat if the vehicle is moving , but its not blowing heat from the vent

check for a good ground for the blower motor as if you have 12 volts at the motor it indicates a problem motor or no ground wire to complete the circuit
