Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor resistor is used on vehicles equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) heating-A/C system. Vehicles equipped with the
automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system use a blower motor power module, instead of the blower motor resistor See: Control Module
HVAC/Description and Operation/Blower Motor Power Module - Description.
The blower motor resistor is mounted to the rear of the HVAC housing, directly behind the glove box. The blower motor resistor consists of a molded
plastic mounting plate (1) with an integral wire connector receptacle (2). Concealed behind the mounting plate are coiled resistor wires contained within
a ceramic heat sink (3).
The blower motor resistor is accessed for service by removing the glove box.
