Fan motor not working

Post by valparaisogrl »

Hi everone, first I want to apologize for posting in wrong topic (twice). Love this site. I have a 2005, and fan isn't blowing any air out. The air is working, but nothing out of the vents. It was working on and off on high, but it stopped. Any advise would be appreciated, and hopefully it won't be too costly. Also the yellow check light is now on. Thanks to all.

welcome to genvibeI'd bet the fan motor and the check engine light are not related.A classic symptom of the speed resistor failing is that it only operates at highest speed. Sounds like yours was like that for a little while before it stopped working altogether, so maybe that is the blower problem. That would be good, becaue it is a relatively easy repair that doesn't cost as much as replacing the blower motor. See http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=34011 and http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=23496For the check engine light, it could be a lot of things. It will set a code in the engine's computer. You can stop in at a lot of auto parts stores, especially big chains, and they will hook up a device and read out the failure code. If you can let us know what the code is , likely a P followed by four digits, then we can have bettter luck offering advice on what to do. Without the code, there's too many possibilities to be able to guess the cause.
