DEFINITION: The blower motor is ON while the blower motor switch is in the OFF position.

Did you perform the HVAC Diagnostic Starting Point in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic Starting Point - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the mode switch in the OFF position.

Is the blower motor OFF?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor relay.
3. Turn On the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the blower motor continue to operate?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 4

Important: The mode switch must remain in the OFF position during this step.

1. Place the blower motor switch in the minimum speed position.
2. Probe the high blower motor control circuit at the blower motor relay with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 6

Test the high blower motor control circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 10

Probe the blower motor supply voltage circuit between the blower motor relay and the blower motor resistor with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 9

Test the blower motor supply voltage circuit between the blower motor relay and the blower motor resistor for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14
