blower motor will not turn on

Post by mdgain »

Hey guys, I have looked through the forums and tried everything that was suggested. I have a 94 RS 1.6L. The blower will not work in any speed setting. The 30 amp fuse/breaker is good but no power is getting to the control unit.(no indication lights) I don't have any usable schematics and would greatly appreciate any help. Is there any fuses under the hood I should check?

So, the blower motor fuse is labled "Rear Wiper"? I haven't checked that one yet. I'll give it a shot. I don't think it is the resistor pack, because it doesn't work on any speed setting. And I don't think it is the selector switch because it was working fine 2 days ago and I am not getting any of the little green selector lights meaning no power. Thanks again for all the help, I'll post when I fix the problem.

well, i'm not tired of newbie questions, i just joined this forum not too long ago and asked the exact same question!
i went through the online manual and did everything but had a bit of a hard time figuring everything, so once i did i made that guide to help other people out.
i'm glad to hear that it's fixed though, it sucks having your windows fog up, or being really cold
