Blower not working at setting 1 and 2 but works at 3 and 4

Post by cythraul »

Hi everyone,

Probably just a relay as I believe there's one for every speed except the fastest. Could it be the bunch of relays over the glove compartment?

Thanks!

Sounds like the resistor is bad.

This is the part you'll need: http://www.partsgeek.com/167rl6j-pontia ... istor.html

See step 6 in the post below on replacing the blower motor resistor...

Pretty easy fix.

Awesome, thanks!

I've ordered the part from Rock Auto, they were cheapest to get the part to Canada. :)

Received and installed the part today. Should be good for another ten years. The new part was from Japan. :)

Thank you very much for the help!
