Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation
Operation - Rear
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor for the rear heating-A/C system is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated wire lead and connector of
the rear heater-A/C wire harness. The rear blower motor resistor has an electrical circuit board with two resistors, each of which will reduce the current
flow through the rear blower motor to change the blower motor speed.
The blower motor switch in the rear heater-A/C system directs the ground path for the rear blower motor through the correct resistor to obtain the
selected speed. With the rear blower motor control in the lowest speed position, the ground path for the rear blower motor is applied through all of the
resistors. Each higher speed selected with the rear blower motor control applies the blower motor ground path through fewer of the resistors, increasing
the rear blower motor speed. When the blower motor switch is in the highest speed position, the blower motor resistors are bypassed and the blower
motor receives a direct path to ground through the blower motor switch.
The rear blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired and it must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
