Blower Motor: Description and Operation
Rear
MOTOR-BLOWER
DESCRIPTION
The rear blower motor (1) is a 12-volt, direct current (DC) motor mounted within a plastic housing with an integral wire connector (2) and squirrel
cage-type blower wheel (3) that is secured to the blower motor shaft. Three integral mounting tabs (4) allow the rear blower motor to be secured to the
outboard side of the rear HVAC housing.
OPERATION
The rear blower motor can be accessed for service by removing the HVAC housing.
The rear blower motor is used to control the velocity of air moving through the rear HVAC housing by spinning the blower wheel within the HVAC
housing at the selected speed.
The rear blower motor will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On position and the rear blower motor switch located in the front accessory
switch panel is set to on. The rear blower motor receives a battery feed through the rear blower motor relay located in the power distribution center
(PDC), whenever the ignition switch is in the On position.
For diagnosis and testing of the rear blower motor.
The rear blower motor and blower wheel are factory balanced and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the blower motor and blower
wheel must be replaced as an assembly.
