Test N: Auxiliary Blower Motor Does Not Operate Using Rear Auxiliary Blower Motor Switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check Auxiliary Blower Motor Resistor Thermal Limiter
Turn ignition off. Disconnect auxiliary blower motor resistor. Measure resistance between auxiliary blower motor resistor terminals No. 2 (Red/Pink wire) and 3 (Orange/Red wire). Resistance should be 5.5-8.5 ohms. Measure resistance between terminals No. 1 (Light Blue/Orange wire) and 3. Resistance should be 2.5-4.0 ohms. Measure resistance between terminals No. 3 and 4 (Dark Blue/White wire). Resistance should be .5-.7 ohms. If all resistances are correct, go to next step. If any resistance is incorrect, replace auxiliary blower motor resistor. Retest system. - Check Front Auxiliary Blower Motor Switch
Disconnect rear auxiliary blower motor switch connector. Turn ignition to run (engine off). Set A/C to MAX A/C position. Place front auxiliary blower motor switch in OFF position. Using voltmeter, measure resistance of Orange/Red wire between rear auxiliary blower motor switch and ground. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair Orange/Red wire. Retest system. - Check Red/Pink Wire Circuit For Open
Turn ignition off. Measure resistance of Red/Pink wire between auxiliary blower motor resistor connector and rear blower motor switch connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair Red/Pink wire. Retest system. - Check Rear Auxiliary Blower Motor Switch
Place front auxiliary blower motor switch in REAR position. Measure resistance of Black/White wire between rear auxiliary blower motor switch connector and ground. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace rear auxiliary blower motor switch. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step. - Check Black/White Wire Circuit For Open
Disconnect front auxiliary blower motor switch connector. Measure resistance of Black/White wire between front auxiliary blower motor switch connector and rear auxiliary blower motor switch connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace front auxiliary blower motor switch. Retest system. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair Black/White wire. Retest system.
