It should be in the engine compartment mounted on the face of the heater box. There will be wires running to it.

SOURCE: Blower motor or resistor?

Yes its the blower motor resistor.

More then likley theres some trash or something in it, or possibly the motor itself is on it's way out. There not that bad to pull out of that body car, just pull it out and see what you can see.

The blower motor is under the glove compartment

You can replace the resistor on your own. Please find a detailed diagram which would guide you to do it.

  1. Remove or disconnect the following:
    Negative battery cable Front exhaust pipe, if necessary for access Starter heat shield, if equipped Brace rod from the front of the engine and the bell housing Drivers side wheel to access the starter motor wires and the starter motor attaching bracket-to-engine bolt through the opening in the wheel well Wires from the starter solenoid Attaching bracket-to-engine mount bolt Starter-to-engine block bolts. When removing the last bolt, be sure to support the starter to keep it from falling and possibly injuring you. Starter and shims (if equipped) from the vehicle Bracket from the starter assembly, if equipped

To install:
  1. Install or connect the following:
    Bracket to the starter, if removed. Tighten the bracket nuts to 97 inch lbs. (11 Nm). Starter and shims (if equipped) into position in the vehicle and thread one of the retaining bolts to hold it in position.

Hi!
To find out if your problem is the blower motor or the blower resistor or switch perform the following tests.
BLOWER RESISTOR

  • Remove resistor from vehicle or disconnect resistor wiring.
  • Using an ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between blower resistor terminals No. 1 and 4. See Fig.
  • If continuity is not as specified, replace resistor.
1kbron_29.gif

BLOWER SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 1kbron_27.gif

Switch Position (1) Continuity Between Terminal No.
  1. OFF (1)
  2. LO 5 & 6
  3. (D) (2) 1, 5 & 6
  4. (D) (3) 2, 5 & 6
  5. HI 5, 6 & 8

(1) With switch in any position, continuity should exist between terminals No. 3 and 4 for heater control illumination. With switch in OFF position, continuity should not exist between any other terminals. (2) Circle (D) closest to LO position. (3) Circle (D) closest to HI position.


HEATER RELAY
  • Remove heater relay.
  • Using an ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between heater relay terminals No. 1 and 3, and between terminals No. 2 and 4.
  • Ensure continuity does not exist between terminals No. 4 and 5. If continuity is not as specified, replace relay.
  • Ground terminal No. 3, and apply battery voltage to terminal No. 1. Ensure continuity exists between terminals No. 4 and 5.
  • If continuity is not as specified, replace relay.
BLOWER MOTOR
  • Disconnect blower motor wiring harness connector.
  • Apply battery voltage to motor side of connector. Motor should operate smoothly.
  • If motor operation is not smooth, replace motor.

BLOWER MOTOR REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
  2. Remove glove box, if necessary.
  3. Disconnect blower motor and resistor connectors.
  4. Remove 3 screws and blower motor.
  5. To install, reverse removal procedure. See Fig.

Heater Relay is located on the Relay Block, Front Right Side Of Engine Compartment
Good luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

My heater blowers dnt work and i need to knw where i can locate the resister blocks for my heater blowers so i can ghange them

Its located under dash,or near glove box.

The dash panel lower side has to be out.

HEATER BLOWER MOTOR


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.

1996 astro chevy van heater use to work on low and med but wont work at all now.

The blower resistor has gone bad which is why you lost blower speeds.This may have been caused by the blower motor drawing too much power. At this point I would verify that no fuses burned out and then check the pigtail plugs going to the resistor and blower motor to make sure the connectors and connections are not melted or wiring is frayed. These connectors are located in the engine compartment on the passenger side. After checking this and if everything appears ok then the blower motor itself has probably gone bad and needs replaced. I would also replace the blower motor resistor as well. If the connectors appear damaged replace or repair as needed .
