Now low speeds on blower motor
Hi,
I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy and I am having an issue with the blower motor. Speeds 1 and 2 do not seem to work. Speeds 3 and 4 work fine. This is the manual climate control not the automatic. I searched and it seems everyone usually has a problem with the high speeds & not the low speeds....Any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve |

Re: Now low speeds on blower motor
right beside the blower motor there should be a climate control has a plug in with two bolts holding it on many times it is that unit that is bad sometimes debri pens clips falling down through dash vents drops down in there and fan makes them bounce off the unit causing it to break the circuit board

Re: Now low speeds on blower motor
Yes, under the hood, two screws hold it into the black plastic evaporator housing. The part is a "blower motor resistor". If high speed and at least one other speed work properly, this is almost certain to be the problem. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...RPSESWAMS_____

Yup, bottom image. Says "CUT HERE FOR SERVICE". Use a utility knife being careful not to cut to deeply.
