Default HVAC fan runs continuously

The HVAC fan continues to run after the key has been removed. I searched the archives and see a few different things. The on/off switch for the HVAC works. Resistor block, Relay and Fan control module. Is there any consensus on witch one or a way to check some of these items?

Thanks
Mike

I would try the BCM. It'* on the outside of the firewall. i replaced mine today for the exact same reason. The part was $ 104.00 at the dealership.

Yeah, 25 bucks is about 75 better than what i paid. I couldn't find one in a junk yard.

Also, that module is farily easy to troubleshoot with a volt meter.

Mine has 4 wires going to it.

Red one is Battery voltage. ( on a plug by itself )
a gray with black stripe coming rom the HVAC unit. It should have about 8 volts on high
A purple one. This should have 0 volts when off. and battery voltage on high.
I bet yours has 12 volts all the time.


Turn everything off and check that purple wire. If it still has juice I would get a BCM.

What is the year and trim line of your car? Do you have electronic climate control?

fuddyduddy121:

97 SSE with ECC. I received some part numbers from GM Parts Direct. What is the difference?? Does my car have a relay along with the blower control module controlling the HVAC?

12497910 delayed blower control module
52470337 blower control module

Thanks

Yes, your blower control module has gone bad. And there are no relays associated with the fan, just the module.

I still have the receipt from the dealer if you want me to check the part number.
I also have the ECC unit. The parts guy did mention something about a delayed unit.
I am not sure though. I can check and post part numbers when I get home from work.
