Blower motor or resistor block on a 99 gmc jimmy

My blower fan quit last night. My buddy said to tap the housing on the firewall but I couldn't find it. I checked all hvac fuses on inside fuse panel and they were fine. I checked fuses under the hood and found a 30 amp hvac fuse blown. Replaced and fan works again but I did find a slight burning smell coming out of vents. I asked my friend what could cause this fuse to go and he said, "blower motor or resistor block." I am not sure what he means by this. How do I troubleshoot this? How easy is it to check and replace the resistor and where is it located? Blower is working fine on all speeds, is there anything else I could check on it ?

Good Day,


Sounds to me like your headlight switch needs to be replaced. When you turn your light's on (parking or headlights) the switch sends two outputs, one to the exterior lights and the other output is your cluster and hvac illuminaton. You can get a new switch from a dealer for around 30 bucks new. Here's a pic of what you need:

You do need to remove your outer dash panel to gain access.

Sorry this posting is so short, just worked a 14hr day. If you need further help with replacing the switch I can walk you though the process.

Hope this helps for now.

More than likely this should just be your resistor. You have different sized coils on the back of your resistor for all the different fan speeds. if one of them burns out or breaks then that certain speed will not work.

SOURCE: 1998 GMC Jimmy hood release cable broken

Remove the cable from the latch and any hold downs or clamps. Push the rubber gromet through the fire wall into the car. Remove the handel assy. and pull
the cable assy.out through the fire wall. Now, if the
gromet can be removed. You can decide if you wan't
to put it back from under the dash, or under the hood.
Whatever is easiest for you, but if it can't, it has to go
back from under the dash. Hope this helps.
Good luck.

The fan for heating and cooling suddenly quit on my 2006 GMC Sierra 1500. Could it be a fuse?

Yes it could be a fuse, or the blower motor, or the control on the dash.

How do I fix the blower fan in my Ford F-150? It's STUCK on HIGH!

the problem is not the fan (blower motor) , it is the resistor in the blower motor hosing under the hood...
open the hood and look over by the passangers side firewall to locate the blower plenum (housing).
There is a plug that has 4 wires and it is plugged dirrectly to the housing.behind that is the resistor configuration that runs the fan at the different speeds ( more resistance = slower fan speed).
It is this part you need to replace.

How to change fan blower motor 2004 chev Impala

The blower motor is located under the Dash on the passenger side. Simply unplug it and unbolt the mounting bolts. The one closest to the firewall may give you a bit of a hard time as the angle is a bit limiting. Does the blower work on any speed? Usually the resistor block goes bad and the blower motor will not work on any speed but high. The resistor block is located next to the motor and it's held in place by two bolts. Good luck!

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Htr/AC fan switch only functions @ highest speed. At lower speed settings I can hear doors opening and closing---but not air.

replace the blower motor resistor. It controls the fan speeds. It defaults to high speed only when it fails.

How to replace the blower motor resistor block: Caution: Stay clear of the blower motor and resistor block (Hot). Do not operate the blower motor with the resistor block removed. 1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the glove box from the instrument panel.
3. Pull out the lock on the blower motor resistor wire harness connector to unlock the connector latch.
4. Depress the latch on the blower motor resistor wire harness connector and disconnect the connector from the resistor.
5. Remove the two screws that secure the blower motor resistor block to the HVAC housing.
6. Remove the resistor block from the HVAC housing. Installation:
1. Position the blower motor resistor block into the HVAC housing.
2. Install the two screws that secure the resistor block to the HVAC housing. Tighten the screws to 2.2 Nm (20 in. lbs.)
3. Connect the wire harness connector to the resistor block.
4. Push in the lock on the blower motor resistor wire harness connecgtor to lock the connector latch.
5. Install the glove box.
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
7. Have a nice day!

Heater Control Switch Only Works on High

Your problem is probably a part called the heater resistor block or board. When this part burns out you will only have high speed on the fan. On my 1999 voyager it is located on the firewall and it snaps in a hole in the firewall. This is under the hood behind the alternator.
Mine had a multi pin black plug plugged into it. Unplug the plug and
you should be able to pull the block out insert new block and plug plug back in and it should come to life.
