REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Depress locking tab and unplug the wire har-
ness connector from the blower motor controller.
(3) Depress locking tab and unplug the controller
connector from the blower motor.
(4) Remove the 2 screws that secure the blower
motor controller to the HVAC housing.
(5) Remove the blower motor controller from the
HVAC housing (Fig. 15).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the blower motor controller in the
HVAC housing. The housing is indexed to allow con-
troller mounting in only one position. Tighten the
mounting screws to 2.2 N´m (20 in. lbs.).
(2) Plug in the wire harness connector to the
blower motor controller.
(3) Plug in the connector from the blower motor
controller to the blower motor.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable.
BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
Models with the standard manual temperature
control system have a blower motor resistor. The
blower motor resistor is mounted to the bottom of the
HVAC housing, under the instrument panel and just
inboard of the blower motor. It can be accessed for
service without removing any other components.
OPERATION
The resistor has multiple resistor wires, each of
which will reduce the current flow to the blower
motor to change the blower motor speed by changing
the resistance in the blower motor ground path. The
blower motor switch directs the ground path through
the correct resistor wire to obtain the selected speed.
With the blower motor switch in the lowest speed
position, the ground path for the motor is applied
through all of the resistor wires. Each higher speed
selected with the blower motor switch applies the
blower motor ground path through fewer of the resis-
tor wires, increasing the blower motor speed. When
the blower motor switch is in the highest speed posi-
tion, the blower motor resistor is bypassed and the
blower motor receives a direct path to ground.
The blower motor resistor cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

appropriate wiring information.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the wire harness connector from the
blower motor resistor.

(3) Check for continuity between each of the
blower motor switch input terminals of the resistor
and the resistor output terminal. In each case there
should be continuity. If OK, repair the wire harness
circuits between the blower motor switch and the
blower motor resistor or blower motor as required. If
not OK, replace the faulty blower motor resistor.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Depress locking tab and unplug the wire har-
ness connector from the blower motor resistor.
(3) Depress locking tab and unplug the resistor
connector from the blower motor.
(4) Remove the 2 screws that secure the blower
motor resistor to the HVAC housing.
(5) Remove the blower motor resistor from the
HVAC housing (Fig. 16).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the blower motor resistor in the HVAC
housing. The housing is indexed to allow mounting in
only one position. Tighten the mounting screws to 2.2
N´m (20 in. lbs.).
(2) Plug in the wire harness connector to the
blower motor resistor.(3) Plug in the connector from the blower motor
resistor to the blower motor.
(4) Connect the battery negative cable.
BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The A/C Heater blower motor is controlled by a
rotary-type blower motor switch, mounted in the A/C
Heater control panel. On vehicles with manual tem-
perature control systems, the switch allows the selec-
tion of four blower motor speeds, but will only
operate with the ignition switch in the On position
and the A/C Heater mode control switch in any posi-
tion, except Off. On vehicles with the Automatic Zone
Control (AZC) systems, the switch allows the selec-
tion of Lo Auto, Hi Auto, and ten speed settings
between Lo and Hi.
OPERATION
On manual temperature control systems, the
blower motor switch is connected in series with the
blower motor ground path through the a/c heater
mode control switch. The blower motor switch directs
this ground path to the blower motor through the
blower motor resistor wires, or directly to the blower
motor, as required to achieve the selected blower
motor speed.
On AZC systems, the blower motor switch is just
one of many inputs to the AZC control module. In the
manual blower modes, the AZC control module
adjusts the blower motor speed through the blower
motor controller as required to achieve the selected
blower switch position. In the auto blower modes, the
AZC control assembly is programmed to select and
adjust the blower motor speed through the blower
motor controller as required to achieve and maintain
the selected comfort level.
The blower motor switch cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The switch is
serviced only as a part of the a/c heater control
assembly.

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Pinch the connector retainer and unplug the
blower motor wire harness from the blower motor
(Fig. 2).
(3) Remove the three screws that secure the
blower motor and blower wheel assembly to the
HVAC housing, using either a T-25 Torxthead or
flat-bladed screwdriver.
(4) Lower the blower motor and wheel from the
HVAC housing.
(5) Remove the blower wheel retainer clip (Fig. 3).
(6) Remove the wheel from the blower motor shaft.
INSTALLATION
(1) Press the blower wheel hub onto the blower
motor shaft. Be sure the flat on the blower motor
shaft is indexed to the flat on the inside of the blower
wheel hub.
(2) Install the retainer clip over the blower wheel
hub.
(3) Install the blower motor in the HVAC housing
with three mounting screws. Tighten the mounting
screws to 2.2 N´m (20 in. lbs.).
(4) Plug the blower motor wire harness connector
into the blower motor socket.
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
