Re: Blower Moter problem

Welcome to the Alero forum...

It sounds like you may have two separate problems.

Your air conditioning working only for a couple of minutes is likely a problem specific to your air conditioning system and is unrelated to the blower problem. I can't say what the exact problem would be with your A/C, but likely the system is low on refrigerant (which indicates a leak in the system that will have to be repaired before adding more) or you have an expansion valve problem. Either way, a repair shop or dealer is probably your best bet to have it checked out.

The blower motor problem is most likely the blower motor resistor. This isn't really hard to replace and is relatively inexpensive. There are several threads in the Alero forum relating to this problem, some of which describe step by step how to replace the resistor. Basically, the resistor is located under the dash behind the glove box.
