Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

  1. 9:  This step tests the heater blower relay control circuit.
Blower Motor Inoperative

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference: HVAC Schematics 
Connector End View Reference: HVAC Connector End Views 
DEFINITION: The blower motor is inoperative in all speed positions.
1 Did you perform the HVAC Diagnostic System Check? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - HVAC Systems - Manual
