It is pretty simple. You either have electrical power going through the resistor assembly and then out of the resistor assembly to ground the motor, or you don't.
The easiest place to check for power making it through the blower resistor is at the blower motor connector.
HINT: If the blower will not work on ANY speeds, including "HIGH", it is NOT caused by the resistor assembly.
9 out of 10 times its the heater fan resistor doing this. it has wires that corresponed to diffreent speed settings for heater fan. the resistor is beside the blower motor, Your Kia Sportage Blower Motor Resistor controls the heating equipment in the
vehicle by opening and closing the fan motor. The Kia Sportage Blower Motor
Resistor allows the heating and climate control system to control the speed of
the vehicle's cooling fan. its under the passenger side glove box. undo 2 screws and disconnect the electrical connector. thats it!!
This part is typically attached to the blower motor. Access to the blower motor is normally through the glove box. Once removed. you should see both the blower motor and the resistor. The resistor will have 2 plugs and may be attached to the motor by a screw. This is the most common fix for heaters/AC that don't have all the fan speeds.
Well,you eliminated the resistor,so it probably means the blower motor has shorted out.Either that or something has gotten into the blower wheel and jammed it. If you can bypass the resistor and just put 12 volts into the motor,do it.But don't hold it long,as a direct short can cause a fire without a fuse to blow for safety. In other words,prepare to buy a new heater blower motor. don-ohio
I don't even have a 2011 Peterbuilt! ;)
But as in many vehicles when the blower only works in high its due to a bad blower resistor. The resistor is in operation on slower speeds and the motor gets full power and bypasses the resistor on the high speed setting.
As for where it is on a Peterbuilt, again I don't o0wn one so I can't say for sure.
It should be located near the blower motor as it uses the fan blades air to keep it cool.
Sounds like a bad blower motor resistor. Since high speed bypasses the resistor and the lower speeds use the resistor and don't work, the resistor is the most logical answer.
It is usually mounted near the blower motor under the passenger side of the dash.
the blower motor is located under the passenger side of the dash. The blower motor resistor is located behind the glove box assembly. You will need to remove the glove box assembly and then you will see the resistor. It will have one connector with four or five wires and will be held to the HVAC unit with 2 screws.
