Ebby Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I started my car today in -8c weather and had no blower motor. On the way home I pressed the rec. button and the blower came on for a minute then I heard a thump under the dash and the blower stopped. I then could smell burning (electrical) ? Has anyone had to replace the ACM (programmer) ? could the programmer just give up the ghost like that,can I test the motor by putting 12v to the control connector B( gray wire) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I would suspect the blower long before the ACM. The ACM is much more relaible and I don't believe it has any moving parts to "thump". That sounds like the cage came off the shaft or broke under centrifical force.

epricedright Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I agree with Ranger. Being you smelled wires burning earlier, you should be able to get your nose close to the blower and if it smells burnt, then that's probably your problem. The thump may have been your blower cage coming off then shorting out your blower motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebby Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 The thump was one of the damper doors closing I think and the motor was cold when I pulled over. The smell came from inside the car so I am going to check the programmer connections when I warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Problematic blowers, burning smell, dead blower. All symptoms of a blower motor. That's where I am putting my money. Let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebby Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Larry You were correct the blower motor was shot. I blew the weekend putting in the new and improved one ha ha. I checked the voltage at the center wire with the motor still in place and found the voltage good for speed up and down. Hi speed 2-2.5v low speed 9.2- 11v Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
