No bower motor. Could use some help on this. Never have used a VM. Then when I need a new motor where do I get one?

Please give some detailed instuctions on where to connect this VM. Or may Ill find a neighbor who has one or something. Blah!!

A VM is a volt meter. A multimeter does the same thing but includes other functions as resistance and current. Either one will do. This is a typical multimeter:



These include two probes, one black (-) and one red (+), that plug into two of the holes at the bottom. To check voltage with the above meter, the black would plug into the COM (common) hole and the red probe would plug into the one at the far right. Turn the dial to V DC to check Direct Current voltage.

There are two larger gauge wires that go from the Blower Control Module to the blower motor. Insert the red probe in the positive wire cavity (PPL wire I believe) and the black probe in the negative wire cavity (BLK wire) at the blower motor connector. When the fan is set to the highest setting, the voltage should be very close to, if not exactly, battery voltage. If it shows battery voltage and the blower motor doesn't work, then the blower motor or the connectionis bad. If it shows noticably lower than battery voltage then it'* either the BCM or the HVAC programmer.

I have both the blower motor and BCM from a 97 SSEi. Let me know if you'd prefer buying some used parts vs new once you've completed the testing.

Wow, how much for the used ones? I'll tell you this, Im learning alot from this place. Thanks.

James...if you go to sears or radio shack you won't buy one used. You can get a decent one for under $20. It'll do all the things you'll need.

Not a used multimeter, either a used BCM or blower motor.

Well heck..I just finished looking at your super pic of the multimeter!

Problem solved seems the new intake reestablished the proper VACUUM and now the HVAC works flawlessly. Thanks for your input.

Odd. The blower motor has no relationship to an engine vacuum source. It'* all electric.

I'm glad the problem is solved, though.

My guess would be didn't have the dash vents working. Vacuum fixed it.
