Blower Motor Resistors

[angel.arteaga]

HI how are you guys doing today ?

I have a 2003 chevy tahoe. I have the none digital air control unit.
The air con only works on speeds 1-4 and as soon as I turn to 5 it shuts off and if I turn back to 4 it works again.

Same thing going on with the top air controls for the rear A/C unit. Only works on 1 and does not work on 2-3

I have researched and found that there are two seperate fuses for the blower motor. One controling the high speed (5) and another one controling speeds 1-4. I have also found that it might be the resistors.

Does anybody have an idea of where exactly are these blower motor resistors located ?

And does anybody have any idea if the problem is the actual control with the knobs for the air ?

Sounds to me like the blower resistor.. If you look in from the passanger side.. Its up almost behind the center console - but in the vent duct.. Easy to pull out and replace - you might have to pull down some vents - cant remember but I do remember it was like a 10 min job

There is a special policy for the blower resistor and connector. You can call your dealer with your VIN and they can tell you if you're covered or not.

@ bkboatnsleds:

Can you post some pics of where i am supposed to look exactly ?
Thank You

@ 91RS:

Thank you I never thought a 2003 model would still be covered right now.
I didnt get it directly from the dealer tho, I got it from sames.

The blower resistor and connector are covered for 10 years or 150k miles from your original in-service date.

Thats great info to be aware of, it reaches 115 degrees where im at and thats horrible heat.

That was great info guys I really appreciate it thank you very much.

Now, is the actual resistor located in one of those harnesses that I need to unplug ?
(The two pin connector and the 7 pin connector) ?

yes, sounds about right.
