When I turn the fan on, I get no air. I am assuming this is the blower motor. You can hear a quick noise behind the glove box when you turn it on, but nothing happens. This happened about a year ago and it all of a sudden started working agaig. Bad blower motor?

Check the fuse, then the switch, then the blower motor. If it works only on high speed there is a resistor pack that has several coiled resistor wires. If one of the wires break, then you lose one or more of the fan speeds.

Thanks. Fuse is okay. Is this the same on all cars? It doesn't blow at all. I have another car (caravan) with this problem.

I'll check the switch tomorrow, but not sure how to tell if it's bad.

If you have 12 volt power at both sides of the switch when it is in the run position, the switch is good. Be sure that the batteries in your voltmeter or DVM are good before you make any measurements.

Yeah pretty much determined it's bad. It started working again and died and made noise. $35.00 to replace and my time. We'll see what happens after I get the part.

Motor is behind the glove box. Pull the glove box out an it's in the black box to the right. Un-screw the screws and unbolt the motor, disconnect cable. To test the motor you can put power to it, if it turns, it's good.
