First, you should check the fuse!
SOURCE: locating heater blower motor resistor
the resistor is behind your glove box. open the box and push in the sides to release it and let it hang down...the resistor is right there. I didn't try to replace it, a friend did it, but the part was under $20.
SOURCE: 2005 Chevy Surban blower motor resistor
mine did the same thing. It was the gears breaking off in the resistor. However, the wiring harness and resistor melted inside of the dashboard AND DID NOT trigger the fuse... causing a safety issue. This was this past month. I notified GM and the National Highway Traffic Saftely Administration hotline located in the owners manual. They are not tracking this problem to see about safety recall. If you have this issue, you need to ntify them as well at their toll free number
SOURCE: citreon picasso hearter blower not working
has your picasso got climate control? if so you probably have a faulty ignition switch
the contacts in the switch which supplies the live to the heater wear and cut the supply
SOURCE: i have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler and the heater fan
If you bypass the resistor pack and connect the motor directly to the fused 12v supply then the fan should run at maximum speed. If so, it's the resistor pack that's blown: a very common fault on a huge number of makes and models.
SOURCE: Heater blower resistor gets very hot
its got a bank of resistors and it will get hot. The fuse blowing out may just be a fluke thing. Replace the fuse (with the proper size)and run it normally, The fuse is in the system and is designed to burn out long before any real damage can occur,
Testimonial: "Thanks stevemcgraw1. I am at ease now. Going to re-check the value of the fuse with the manual and check the draw from the blower. Cheers!"
