Blower motor won't turn on

By newbie101
- Mon Nov 01, 2010 8:21 pm #221042 Hey guys. My blower motor has been not coming on when I go out to start it early in the morning before school, which is a problem because my window fogs up since i'm breathing and I can't see. It is a decent drive to school through many areas with kids walking to school and I kinda don't want to hit one. I am looking for advice, since it works if I start it around 11 in the morning like on the weekends for work, what do you guys think it would be? I'm going to start with fuse and resistor

TIA :thumb:

It is easy to pull the resistor block and see if there are any broken or shorted coils. You might be able to move a coil so it does not touch another or just grab one from a wrecking yard.

I'll try searching, but I really need to have this fixed lol it's getting dangerous :shock:
Thanks!

So I would guess that means the coils have a dead spot or something? I'll probably have to replace the motor eventually
