DEFINITION: The blower motor operates in at least one, but not all, speed positions.

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the mode switch in the vent position.
3. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the blower motor operate at the desired speed in each speed position?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Go to Step 3

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the blower motor supply voltage circuit of the blower motor and a good ground.
5. Place the blower motor switch in each speed position.

Does the test lamp illuminate in each speed position?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 4

Does the test lamp illuminate in the maximum speed position?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 5

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the blower motor relay.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit of the blower motor relay and a good ground.
