Been I while since the posted. I’ll have to update soon.
Here’s the situation. My heater fan stopped working. It has been temperamental in the past. I’m having a bit of trouble diagnosing, so I’ll list out the symptoms in the order I found them.
- Over the summer I tried charging the A/C, and I noticed the A/C clutch would not engage. No fuses blown. Hypothesized the A/C clutch was out, but I did not “fully” confirm.
- Weather cooled down. Temp control works. Vacuum control will change where the air vents.
- Fan will not blow, and fan switch does not work in any position.
- Today I disassembled the dash to diagnose. No fuses blown. When I use a circuit tester on the switch, all 5 wires have current. When unplugged, only one does.
- When I looked at the “master” controller with the on/off/AC switch, the middle wire (C1 12 DG maybe) was burned and disconnected. The wires adjacent showed signs of heat damage.
- Do I have a switch problem, a resistor problem, a blower motor problem, or an A/C clutch problem?
Please help. It’s a daily driver, and defrosting the windshield is becoming problematic.
