lestro Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Looking for someone in the area that is willing to let me jump my heater blower motor from their car to isolate problem. Ive replaced the blower motor 2 times (with new tyc 700108), also 2 acm's. It doesn't sound reasonable, but I really think I 've got another bad motor. Appreciate the help.

Cadillac Jim Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 The blower motor connector will have three wires: power, ground, and controller (GRY). The GRY wire has a PWM signal on it and will read something like two to 9 Volts on a DVM. If it does, the ground is grounded and the power line has battery voltage, then everything is OK up to the point where you see these numbers. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Thanks, the numbers are all correct, do you think I could get 2 bad new motors in a row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Anything is possible. Have you checked the voltages at the heater motoer? -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Cadillac Jim Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well, if the ground read 0 Volts or less than 0.5 Volts, it sure looks like everything was OK at that point. If you are sure that the connections are good into the motor, the motor is bad. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

If you are sure that the connections are good into the motor, the motor is bad. That's what I was suspecting, just wanted to insure. Not a whole lot of fun replacing that motor over and over, although I'm getting it down to a science, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 What about test driving a car from a used car lot? You could then plug in the motor you want to test. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 All you need to know about the used car is, does the A/C motor blow? If so, and you plug into your motor and it does not, and you plug it back into the car's A/C motor and it blows, then there you are. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.
