Vent Fan

[Astronomer]

My A/C cooling has stopped blowing. I checked a couple of fuses, but not sure if I got the right fuse. Anyone know the fuse#? Just in case it is a bad fan, is this something that is easy to change? Dealership is far, far away.....

I would also check the actuator plug. Those fry up too and that is what happened to me

The AC Heater blower fan is noted for having the connector fail at the resistor plug in fact, it kind of melts:roll:. It is located under the glove box. Take a look at the connector, it is ok, get back with us.

Is it the orange in-line connector, or the black connector next to it?

 

[f5moab]

It's a five pin (might look orange, but believe it is supposed to be red...I think). Wire running to it will be (in order from A-E Orange, Yellow, Tan, Light Blue and another Orange.
Red arrow points to the blower resistor.

The red? inline connector looks ok to me, I unplugged it, looked at it, doesn't look burnt. Is that what you wanted me to check?

I have this schematic, it looks like it can't be the resistor assembly, because if it was bad, wouldn't the fan still run in HIGH?

 

[f5moab]

Take a good look at the schematic (there are some inaccuracies, but it is very close to being correct).
Note that the ground for the blower in high position, still goes through the resistor, then through the high-blower relay then to a ground point.

Mine has/is melting. It works off an on. If it's not working I have to wiggle the connector a little. Occasionally it smells like melting plastic. Not too worried... I'm insured.

Just to let you know, after unplugging and inspecting the inline connector, the fan started blowing the next time I cranked to go help pull the FDX truck out of the mud.

One of the first items that should be checked with any electrical problem, and usually the easiest, but also the most fogotten since people (like me) try to read too much into a problem. "Check the connector for a good connection." The connector is usually the weakest link in an electrical connection, and usually a loose connection is the biggest problem in the weak link. Glad to hear it is fixed....

This is what that plug looks like when it melts
