so right now my blower motor isn't working...I got it out and put my multimeter to the leads going to it and on speeds 1-4 i get 14v and on 5 I get 0....at first I had all speeds but 1, then I lost 5 and now none work...could it be the resistor i got a different motor and it didn't help...anything will help thanks


I have an '01 GT if that matters

I forgot...also is there a good way to test the motor?

you can test the motor by using leads and connecting to the battery.

yes, the resistor can cause this situation that you describe. My resistor was slowly going, first no 1, then 2, then 3/4. used it on 5 exclusively for a few months, but then one day, it stopped working all together. i replaced the resistor and it's working fine now.

something doesn't seem right though cuz I got voltage goin to the motor but it's not workin for some reason....maybe i'll try the resistor and see if that works

mine was the same way.

problem solved lock if desired....wil pry do a write up for the blower motor as well as the resistor replacment if there isnt already

So what was the problem? How did you solve it? Just give a short write up here for anyone searching these threads. Just what you found or what you changed.

Glad you got it working!

I cahnged out the blower motor out (probably didn't have to but the old one was rusty so Idid it anyway and cahnged out the blower motor resistor which was the acctual problem...total of 4-5 bolts to take out depending on how hard you want to work.

yea, when the seal at the cowl starts leaking it goes right in to the blower and resister unfortunately

Make sure you put in a cabin air filter. They never put these in GPs from the factory, but the regal one fits just perfect. And it keeps some moisture from getting in and rusting your blower motor.
