Rear heat blower motor

wlsnoops · #1 02-22-2009, 12:09 PM

Where is the rear heat blower motor located? I have checked the fuses in the passenger side dash panel and under the hood, but they are okay.

The controls in the front and the back do not work.

1999 Silhouette Premier

Thanks,

Do you mean the controls for the rear only or the controls for both front and rear do not work ?

The fans in the front of the van work just fine (heat and defrost). I get no air blowing out of the vents in the rear of the van.

The rear fan control located below the climate control system in the switchbank, and the rear climate control knobs located in the panel above the driver's seat do not turn any fans on for the rear of the vehicle.

Thanks.

most likely the 25 amp fuse is blowen. it's in a fuse block with the front heat/ac fuse powerwindows,sun roof rear1/4 windows. but with out checking i think it's under the hood in the pass side front fuse box if not then it's on the pass side dash fuse box. hope this sheads some light on the problem.

If you have the air shocks, you can removed the panel for the compressor controls (in the trunk area) and pull it out this way. I have had to take mine out of my '99 Montana twice and oil (3-In-One oil) it up so it would work. So far so good, I haven't acutally had to replace the blower yet.

Thanks. I'll check into that. I heard some noises from that area that didn't sound quite right. I knew it wasn't the compressor, though.
Maybe the blower fan is gummed up. Just didn't know where to check.

Thanks for all the answers. I think I found the problem.
The contacts on the blower motor appear dirty. I can jiggle the wiring plug and the motor starts right up.
Night time fell before I could get in there and clean them off properly. It'll have to wait until daytime as my eyes ain't what they used to be.
