Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

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

Does the blower motor operate at the desired speeds?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Go to Step 3

1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the blower motor resistor assembly.
3. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
4. Probe the LOW, MED 1, MED 2, and HIGH blower motor control circuits at the blower motor resistor assembly, with a test lamp that is connected to battery positive voltage. At the same time, place the blower motor switch in the appropriate speed position for the circuit being tested.

Does the test lamp illuminate on all blower motor control circuits?
