2004 Chrysler Pacifica Blower won't work

2004 Chrysler Pacifica. Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). Front blower motor won't work as of a week ago. Rear seems to work just fine. Swapped out the front fan relay with a spare, still doesn't work. Considering replacing the blower motor resistor, but not sure if this is the problem. Any suggestions?

+12 years later late summer of 2022 in 112 heat in Las vegas--My 2006 Pacifica - Has No blower operations--it is Blowing 40 Amp Fuses-I Tested & Found 3ohms of resistance (2.6 ohms to be exact) off of my blower motor power leads, tested this across the external connections of the Motor (green & Black) using a volt meter in resistance mode-
The resistance of a new motor is .04 ohm, as a comparison... this fact warranted the motors removal and replacement
Upon pulling the old motor out found the spindle to not be spinning freely or was frozen, hence the additional load variance.
I will take this old motor apart to see if the fusing of winding exists, in all probability-
So I Replaced The Motor and Resistor pak for good measure since both were the original equipment from 2006.
All works quite well now.
I hope this helps others out with similar HVAC blower non-op issues, I believe this scenario should be the same for any make model vehicle......

Usally when a blower motor resistor goes bad the fan still runs on high. The resistor lowers the voltage going to the fan to make it run slower. The high setting usually goes straight thru. Resistors are usually easy to get to, under good on the firewall or under dash passenger side. Cost about $24 at parts store. Replace with new if that doesn't work return it.

I had the same thing happen today except rear control works period (no conditions). I am going to test the leads to the front blower first while on. If voltage is there, then I will check the motor brushes - could be a cheap easy fix (~$6 + time). Alternatively you could replace the motor ($50+ plus time). If no voltage there then it is probably electronics.

It could be a resistor(s) but I believe it is unlikely that *all* the resistors would go at the same time.

Break Down And Replace The Blower Motor


REMOVAL

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIR-BAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OR DEATH.

NOTE: The blower motor is located on the passenger side of the vehicle under the instrument panel. The blower motor can be removed from the vehicle without having to remove the HVAC housing.

  1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove the passenger side cowl trim panel.
  3. Position the carpet to access the front upper screw that secures the air inlet housing.
  4. Remove the recirculation door actuator.
  5. Disconnect the blower motor wire lead connector from the blower motor resistor or power module, depending on application.
    1. Remove the one screw (from the top) that secures the lower air inlet housing to the upper air inlet housing.
    2. Remove the four screws (from the bottom) that secure the lower air inlet housing to the upper air inlet housing and remove the lower HVAC housing.
    3. Push the rubber grommet through the opening in the lower air inlet housing.
    4. Route the blower motor wire lead through the opening in the lower air inlet housing and remove the lower air inlet housing from the vehicle.
    5. Position the recirculation-air door as necessary to access and remove the three screws that secure the blower motor to the lower half of the HVAC housing.
    6. Gently flex the recirculation air door downward to gain access to remove the blower motor from the HVAC housing. NOTE: To aid in installation, note the position of the blower motor mounting tabs prior to removal
      1. Remove the blower motor from the HVAC housing by rotating and tilting the blower motor as necessary.
      INSTALLATION

      1. Gently flex the recirculation-air door downward to gain access to install the blower motor into the HVAC housing.
      2. Position the blower motor to the HVAC housing and tilt and rotate the blower motor as necessary to install it into the HVAC housing.
      3. Align the blower motor mounting tabs to the locations noted during removal and install the three screws that secure the blower motor to the HVAC housing. Tighten the screws to 2 N·m (17 in. lbs.).
      4. Route the blower motor wire lead through the opening in the lower air inlet housing and seat the rubber grommet.
      5. Position the recirculation door pivot shaft into the lower air inlet housing and install the inlet housing.
      6. Install the four screws (from the bottom) that secure the lower air inlet housing to the upper air inlet housing and the lower HVAC housing. Tighten the screws to 2 N·m (17 in. lbs.).
      7. Install the one screw (from the top) that secures the lower air inlet housing to the upper air inlet housing. Tighten the screw to 2 N·m (17 in. lbs.).
      8. Connect the blower motor wire lead connector to the blower motor resistor or power module, depending on application.
      9. Install the recirculation door actuator.
      10. Reposition the carpet.
      11. Install the passenger side cowl trim panel.
      12. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
      13. Perform the heater-A/C control calibration procedure.

Either the switch is broke or the blower motor is. My guess would be the blower motor. You will have to check the plug at the blower motor for power with an ohm meter. And if it does move the switch to see if it put's out more amps. If it does it's the blower motor. If it doesn't it's the switch.

Front blower motor will not run at high speed

Did you inspect the plug that attaches to the blower resistor? Sometimes a bad resister will cause the connector to overheat damaging it.
If the connector is damaged, you may be able to clean up the metal contact and then carefully bend it to increase tension, or it may need to be replaced.

2004 Buick LaSaber w/Automatic Temp control, blower motor just quit, won't run at any speed, all fuses are OK. I'm thinking bad motor?

With Auto Temp---you first need to use professional

there,it helps to have factory trouble charts to use &
not guess, as I'm afraid some shops still do

The car keeps coming up a code 23 on a 1999 chrysler 300 for the

Code 23= Blend door feedback control


On cars with automatic climate control: To enter diagnostic mode, set the temperature to 75F, press the the off button. Press Floor, Defrost\Floor, Front Defrost simutaneously for 3 seconds until the temperature display begins to flash.
On cars without automatic climate control, set the blower to any speed, turn the temperature control in between warm and cold. Press Floor, Defrost\Floor, and Front Defrost. All codes will flash via the Front Defrost button.
When the test is over all fault codes will be displayed (on cars without automatic climate control, they will be blinked out on the Front Defrost button).
Code Action
23 Blend door feedback control
24 ATC mode door feedback failure
25 Ambient temperture sensor failure
26 ATC in-car sensor
27 Sun sensor failure
31 ATC recirculate door stall failure
32 ATC blend door failure
33 ATC mode door stall failure
34 Engine temperture sense failure
35 Evap temperature sense failure
36 ATC head command failure
