Location 2002 kia sportage blower motor resistor

Hi Kathy,here's a link to where your blower motor is,in the pic,the dark part is your blower motor resistor,just remove electrical connector and 2 screws holding it on,very easy. Repair Guides Blower Motor Removal Installation AutoZone com Here's a pic of your resistor. Blower Motor Resistor at AutoZone com Best Blower Motor Resistor Parts for... Don't disconnect your negative battery terminal,will cause problems.

It is not the resistor. It is the controller..

Could be your blower motor resistor,it's mounted next to the blower motor,Autozone will take part back for refund if it don't fix problem.Here's what it looks like,Here's where the blower motor is.Easy to remove,disconnect electrical connector,remove 2 screws,can't look at it to tell if bad.Here's the relay.

if fuse/power to fan/resistor all check out, drop the motor and look for
a mess of leaves inside...in my case, there were so many they kept
the motor from operating/OR taking it all apart/testing and finding nothing
wrong but leaves and removing them somehow corrected a bad ground...who knows or cares?...it's now working

9 out of 10 times its the heater fan resistor doing this. it has wires that corresponed to diffreent speed settings for heater fan. the resistor is beside the blower motor, Your Kia Sportage Blower Motor Resistor controls the heating equipment in the vehicle by opening and closing the fan motor. The Kia Sportage Blower Motor Resistor allows the heating and climate control system to control the speed of the vehicle's cooling fan. its under the passenger side glove box. undo 2 screws and disconnect the electrical connector. thats it!!

It could be the blower motor resistor, the high position feeds full 12 volt power directly to the blower motor. All lower settings route through the blower motor resistor. It is usually located under the passenger side dash, not far from the blower motor. Two screws secure it to the heater box.

It may be the blower motor, or it may be the blower resistor. Check for power at the blower motor. If power present with system on and blower has good ground, motor bad. If no power check blower resistor in air box prior to blower motor. If power on input side but nothing coming out to blower change resistor.

it is next to the blower fan up under the passengers side, I think it has 3 or 4 wires on the plug, just unscrew the 2 screws and disconnect the plug with the wires on it, www.kiatechinfo.com is a great place to get info on kia's, hope this helps, you need to know why the resister is going bad, this means a short somewhere, if the blower shorta out then the resister will get over heated, check the switch you ajust fan speed with to see if it is working right.

Rule of thumb...unless you get a better answer:  look for a couple of wires on a small plate that is in the airflow of the fan on the heater/ac unit.  The resistor pack is always air cooled by the fan.

Its going to be the resistor...
