Blower Motor isn't working....

[MatthewDavid]

I just read a thread about a guy that has a leak by his windshield and his blower motor works sometimes... I think his name was MegaBoink or something... but anyways... I wonder if it's the same problem... I had AC all day long yesterday... went through a car wash and poof it wouldn't blow anymore... I can tell everything else works just no blower motor... I think the relay's fine from what I can tell it did seem a little damp behind the dash board but it wasn't soaked... I was just curious what I should try doing to get the motor up and goin... should I just go get a new one?... how much should they run all the shops say about 95 bucks without the basket... sounds kinda steap... but yeah... need AC it's been over 90 for 20 consecutive days now!... also I checked the harness that connects to the motor... and it looks like it's getting power... so I'm hopin it's the motor....

You can get a brand new one for about $30

That's what I thought... I was thinkin of testing it first when I pull it... should just be able to direct wire it to the battery and see if it spins shouldn't I?

You can test it like that. If its good, it'll kick on.

Ok... I haven't tried it yet but kinda wanna get a good idea of what's goin on just in case... if the motor's good... the fuse is good... the relays seams good... the car kicks down to lower idle which makes me think the climate control center and the AC pump are goin... what would I need to do?... also I'm not sure because I all I have is a probe with a light on it the motor has power all the time when the car's on... I was just figuring it has a little power and it just goes up when it kicks on... but where else could it fault?... I'm just hopin it's the motor... be the easiest to fix I'm sure.
