Blower Motor Operates In High Speed, But Not In One Or More Of The Other Speeds

2000 Saturn SC2 Automatic, MP6SECTION Blower Motor Operates In High Speed, But Not In One Or More Of The Other Speeds
NOTE: If blower motor only works in high speed, check fusible link on blower resistor.
  1. Turn ignition ON. Check operation of blower motor and verify inoperative speed(s). Turn blower motor speed switch to inoperative blower speed. Check voltage between ground and instrument panel fuse block Black 68-pin connector terminal E1 (Dark Blue wire). If battery voltage is not present, go to next step. If battery voltage is present, replace blower relay. Recheck blower motor operation. If blower motor operation is still not correct, replace instrument panel fuse block. Recheck blower motor operation.
  2. Check voltage between ground and blower motor resistor connector terminal "C" (Dark Blue wire). If battery voltage is not present, go to next step. If battery voltage is present, repair open in Dark Blue wire. See WIRING DIAGRAMSΒ  . Recheck blower motor operation.
  3. Ensure ignition is ON. Turn blower motor switch to inoperative speed(s). Check voltage at suspect blower motor resistor terminal(s). See BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATIONΒ  table. If battery voltage is not present at all suspect speeds, go to next step. If battery voltage is present, replace blower motor resistor. See BLOWER MOTOR RESISTORΒ  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Recheck blower motor operation.
  4. Ensure ignition is ON. Turn blower motor switch to suspect blower speed(s). Check voltage at suspect blower motor switch terminal(s). See BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH TERMINAL IDENTIFICATIONΒ  table. If battery voltage is not present, replace blower motor switch. If battery voltage is present, repair open in suspect wire between blower motor switch and blower motor resistor. Recheck blower motor operation.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
