Blower Motor Stopped Working, Started Working, then Stopped Working?
 
The Blower Motor on my 1999 Disco 2 is not working on any speed. However this happened before and without me doing anything it started working again as if it were new. This time it has not started back up. Is this most likely a switch, resistor or the motor itself.

Thank you for your time. A.

There are several threads about this but mine turned out to be the fuse block. Check to see if your getting power to the motor.

Thank you. I read the threads but didnt find one where it was working fine, stopped for a few days, then started back and ran for several months then stopped again all together. A.

Generally the resistor or a relay. As was said above, verify no power to the blower the rule it out. If you've experienced any issues with the bolower not changing speeds then it's almost certainly the final stage resistor.

Update:
Checked fuses = ok
Two relays = okay
11.7 Volts going into motor at connection

Questions:
Can the resistor pack - power resistor A/C be part of the problem?
Can i hook the blower directly to the battery w/out burning it up? If so which wire is my hot going into the motor blue or red?
Any suggestions?
Thanks to everyone who has helped me with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still sounds like the same problem I had. There is a thread on here about takin the fuse block on the drivers side out and run a new wire. When I did mine I just ran a fused link from the battery to the relay, it works but it's not the correct way to do it. Just research on here. It's been awhile back for me so I can't remember exactly. Hope this helps

Im getting 11.7V to the motor just fine so i dont think its the fuse block???

Rover Rebel 02-06-2011 10:02 PM

Ok. But it's a 12v motor

tee51397 02-07-2011 06:34 AM

Yeah, the motor's kaput. Still no harm in connecting it to the battery just to be sure. 11.7 is fine, if anything ever sees 12v exactly it's a fluke. Voltage is more like 14.7 with the car running and around 12 pulling off the battery only. Plus, voltage to the blower motor is going to vary.

tsuyoi 02-07-2011 04:08 PM

Can I hook the blower motor directly to the battery or is there something else i need to do?
Again thank you to all for your ideas, advice and patience! A.
