Heater blower gone

[migil]

If the blower motor is functional when tested directly with the battery but no current is reaching to it when installed chances are the problem is the resistor. It's not uncommon this part gets burned up when for some reason the blower motor gets stuck due to dirt/oxidation inside the blower motor plastic housing.

In my case it just took a good cleaning of the blower motor housing AND a new blower motor resistor - You'll have to take out the glove compartment to get access to it.

I'm sorry I can't provide you with a part number for the resistor -I seem to have misplaced my binder where I keep all my VX records. I got mine for St. Charles Isuzu.

I hope this helps.

Will a blown resistor cause the fan to operate only on high?

Tone. I had this exact problem (with the fan stuck on friken high, most annoying). I replaced the blower resistor (au$100) and it works fine now. On my jap spec, to get to the resistor only required me to remove the glove box (2 screws at the bottom), easy as, and 4 screws in total to have the resistor in your hand. If the US Spec has climate control, you would think that it would have a similiar system. Webshots.com is down at this moment, but i have photos on there of the location of the resistor behind the glovebox, with the resistor circled in red. My user name on there is flybysupra, if you have trouble, i'll email them to you.

I just hope thats it. Otherwise I don't know much more.

Yep, resistor. They are pretty cheap. I replaced mine, cleaned and lubed the cage and all has been fine since.
