help locating fron blower motor resistor

Oct 17, 2004 3 Replies

In my 1999 Quest the front blower (heat, AC, ventilation) does not work at swich positions 1 - 3, but works at 4 (full speed). In 2001 Hynes repair manual, on page 12-59, I located the likely problem spot: the "front blower motor resistor" block has 3 resistors and a fuse. If the fuse blows, this would cause the problem I see.



But where the "front blower motor resistor" block is physically located in the van, I don't know.



Will appreciate any suggestions.



Thanks, Mike


No celeb is immune From my digital lampoon.

It's in the blower housing or in the airstream close to it. That "fuse" is a thermal limiter type fuse, easier to replace the whole block. Also the reason these fail is ussually a blower motor that is drawing too many amps. In a lot of cases, just replacing the resistor/fuse is a short term fix.
