I have a 2005 Scion tc that AC works fine and randomly after a while the blower won’t kick on unless I tap on the bottom pretty hard and it gets it going fine no problem. All speeds works. Could it still be a bad blower motor resistor?

@estebansaint i have similar problem. My AC doesn't blow cold air so I replaced the AC compressor now I notice it only blows on max setting, but I THINK it did that when the A.C. actually used to blow cold air last summer but I could be wrong. Did yours start to blow cold and on all settings once you replaced the relay?

Hey guys. I have a problem. In my 1996 Chevy Tahoe the ac and the air stop coming out . This happened last week . I was driving and using the ac and at first it smelled like something was burnt and then the air stop coming out. I was using the mood wear all the air gets push out to you but when the air shout off I could feel it barely coming out from the vent under the dash . Any ideas on how I can go about fixing it ?

It could be a couple issues the first one I would try and see if there’s a short somewhere that cased the meltdown (if any of the wires are melted that is) if not I would try to replace the blower motor especially if you used it a lot recently and or if it’s never been replaced after checking the fuses ofc

Well could be a blown fuse I would check that first if that’s not the problem I would replace the resistor or at least test the old one that you have if that checks out then I would look into buying a blower motor especially if you swich the speed and nothing happens because usually the resistor or the motor will go out before the switch/ relay dose

I got an Audi A4 (B5) that when on heater, the fan speed slowly increases by itself and then pops a fuse. I tried it on a/c and it pops the fuse in less than a minute. I'm guessing its the blower motor resister/relay? Edit: I should also mention the fact that my controls are digital and not a dial. I see the LED screen increase fan speed. The circuit board for the display looks fine and clean. No burn marks. Its a year 2000 vehicle, so my guess is the relay is shorting and it back feeds to the panel thinking the speed changed due to voltage increase?

Have a 2014 Dodge Durango V6. Air totally stopped blowing. Front blower motor fuse has blown several times. I've replaced them with other 40A ones from the fuse box. Then replacing those with non oem 40A ones. Every time the AC starts working fine again. It lasts a few weeks to about a month. Last time I used one of the aftermarket 40A for the blower. Today it blew & the fuse actually melted in its spot. Gonna try to coax it out of there. Someone had mentioned these fuses are directional. The oem ones have theses grooves on one side where the aftermarket ones did not. Not sure if this was a factor. But gonna buy the oem style after I get it out. Don't believe its a short because the problem is not intermittent. Gonna try replacing the blower motor, resistor & plug if it looks burnt. In your opinion or if someone else that's knows these symptoms please chime in, would you say that's a sounds like a sound plan of attack to in all likelihood resolve my issue or is this over kill? Thanks!

@johnellisonarmadilloconstr7966 9 ай бұрын

If it melted then that means it’s making a bad connection at the fuse. Same thing happened to me. Dealership said I need a new fuse box under hood. $600 plus labor. Nope I took it out and bent the prongs back together. Fixed it

My '11 camry blower motor stays on high even with the vehicle off and key out. Please help! Keeps running down the battery. Fixed Update: The blower motor has a resister in it. You can replace the $50 blower motor or replace the $25 resister. I recommend replacing the resister because the chinesium motor isn't as good as the original. They're both under the glove compartment (passenger side)

@easyautofix 3 ай бұрын

It's possible that the relay is stuck in the "on" position, causing the blower motor to run continuously. Locate the relay in the fuse box and try swapping it with a similar relay to see if that resolves the issue.

Man I'm stumped and Idk what to do anymore. 😔 I got a 06 crown victoria and the AC would work but barely blow. The high speed level felt like the lowest but each speed would be about a 1/10th faster than the other. Then I turned the knob to heat and it changed to heat..ok fine.. Well no it's not because when I went to put it back on cold it's stuck on heat. I know blend door actuators are a common fail but so is the resistor. I'm lost
