Re: Smoke started coming out of my vents (blower motor, relay, fuse???)

Does the blower motor work on any speeds, particularly high speed?

Were you getting good air flow initial when the smoke started?

Do you have a multimeter or test light, understand how to use it, and are you willing to climb around on the passenger floor to do some diagnostics?

It was definitely smoke. I thought the engine might have been on fire or something was on fire. It scared the c-ap out of me.

Blower motor doesn't work at all anymore - not on high or low or any setting. Prior to the smoke the air did blow out fine - but I think the heater core had been bad before the smoking incident.


I think I have a multimeter somewhere around here.
