Blower Motor Switch: Testing and Inspection

The blower motor switch is only serviced as a part of the heater-only or heater-A/C control assembly.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Remove the heater-A/C control from the instrument panel. Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the control wire harness connector and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open circuit to ground as required.
2. With the heater-A/C control wire harness connector unplugged. place the mode control switch knob in any position except the Off position. Check for continuity between the ground circuit terminal and each of the blower motor driver circuit terminals of the control as you move the blower switch to each of the tour speed positions. There should be continuity at each driver circuit terminal in only one blower motor switch speed position. If OK, test and repair the blower driver circuits between the control connector and the blower motor resistor as required. If not OK, replace the faulty heater-A/C control unit.
