Pinpoint Test F: The Blower Motor Is Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- F1 CHECK THE BLOWER MOTOR
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Blower Motor C1031.
- Connect battery voltage and ground to the blower motor.

- No : INSTALL a new blower motor (19805). TEST the system for normal operation.
- F2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE BLOWER MOTOR
- Key in ON position.
- Set the function selector switch in the FLOOR position.
- Measure the voltage between the blower motor C1031, circuit 371 (PK/WH) and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to F3.
- No : GO to F4.
- F3 CHECK CIRCUIT 261 (OG/BK)
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Blower Motor Switch C294c.
- Measure the resistance between the blower motor switch C294c pin 1, circuit 261 (OG/BK) and the blower motor C1031, circuit 261 (OG/BK).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new blower motor switch (18578). TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit 261 (OG/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
- F4 CHECK CIRCUIT 371 (PK/WH)
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Blower Motor Relay C1011.
- Measure the resistance between the blower motor C1031, circuit 371 (PK/WH) and the blower motor relay C1011 socket pin 30, circuit 371 (PK/WH).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F5.
- No : REPAIR circuit 371 (PK/WH). TEST the system for normal operation.
- F5 CHECK CIRCUIT 181 (BN/OG)
- Measure the voltage between the blower motor relay C1011 socket pin 87, circuit 181 (BN/OG) and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to F6.
- No : REPAIR circuit 181 (BN/OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
- F6 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK)
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between the blower motor relay C1011 socket pin 85, circuit 57 (BK) and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F7.
- No : REPAIR circuit 57 (BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
- F7 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE BLOWER MOTOR RELAY, COIL SIDE
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the blower motor relay C1011 socket pin 86, circuit 260 (RD/OG) and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : INSTALL a new blower motor relay (14B192). TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : GO to F8.
- F8 CHECK CIRCUIT 364 (BK/LG)
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Function Selector Switch C294a.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the function selector switch C294a pin 3, circuit 364 (BK/LG) and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to F9.
- No : REPAIR circuit 364 (BK/LG). TEST the system for normal operation.
- F9 CHECK CIRCUIT 260 (RD/OG)
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between the function selector switch C294a pin 4, circuit 260 (RD/OG) and the blower motor relay C1011 socket pin 86, circuit 260 (RD/OG).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new function selector switch (19B888). TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit 260 (RD/OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
