HVAC fan motor does not work?
My fan quit working on my 2007 Trailblazer. No warning just stopped
working. I figured motor went bad, removed and checked on workbench.
Motor runs fine. Put test light on purple wire coming from resistor pack and
had juice. This is where things went south. Because I could not get the clip
off of the fan motor housing, I cut the wires figuring I'd splice them back
together. When testing for current the other wires I had removed from the
lower panel feel from above and I shorted the motor wires. Fried the fuse,
the 40Amp. I replaced the fuse and spliced the motor wires together. Now
the fan runs even with the ignition switched off. Did I just fry the resistor
pack and need to replace it or is the problem in the switch on the climate
controls? This is a model that has the auto temp control with digital readout.
