blower motor

[lookdownrange]

This issue started when My blower fan on the front ran on high all night and drained the battery. I read that this was usually fixed by replacing the relay which I did. While I was waiting for the relay from Napa I removed the blower and checked it's condition and noted it turned a bit hard so I also replaced the blower motor as well. Now After installing these parts nothing works. I have checked the fuses and everything I can think of and all looks good. Any advice would be appreciated. I am stumped at this point. My Yukon XL is a 2001. I almost forgot to say hello as I am a new member to this forum. Thank you for any help I can get. Greg

Welcome to TYF. You can use the Introduction forum to, well, introduce yourself.

Have all the HVAC fuses been checked? There is one in the underhood fusebox (two, actually, one for front and one for rear HVAC) and one in the instrument panel fuse block?

Many times the connector to the fan relay is bad. And sometimes the wires that's connected to. Unplug it and look to see if the small pin connectors are all clean and straight. Same for the resistor side where they connect.

I recently did this replacement on my 05 and did find connection problems that had not caused a failure yet but would have soon.

Welcome to the forum.

When you say "relay" do you mean the blower motor resistor by the blower motor, up above the passenger footwell? Or something else?

Good call, I just assumed that it is the resistor which is a known problem area.

I didn't know there was a panel fuse block. I will check that. Thank you.

Yes the resister.
