Default Need info ASAP on heater blower control box



Hi! I have a guy at the local salvage yard that is going to sell me a blower control module, but I need to remove it, take it to him, and match it up with what he has (there are ten # possibilities) I have the kick panel on the pass side floor down, and I see a big black control box (size of two pacs of cigs or playing cards) and about 30-50 wires sticking out of it. That sure looks like the main computer for something... I didn't fool with it. There is also a relay type box attached to the underside of the fuse block, only six wires and has letters on it.

My question:which one, if either, is the blower motor control? I replaced the blower motor with a good one, and I still don't have a blower. I read in the tech forum that it is usually one or the other....

The blower control module is on the engine side of the firewall. Just to the left of the blower. That is, if yours is a 92-95. What year and model is yours?

Default ????



All I see is some black plastic with no access... It'* not one of the relays that you mean... is it? My car is a 92 SSEi. Do you have to cut an access, or does that cover come off somehow?

Good pic by the way. Wish I could figure out how to include them in my messages.....

You're looking at the cover. There'* two little clips to be undone along the front edge, a nut over by the passeger side, then it just needs fanagled out. You're looking for stuff under there.

Default Incredible! Didn't need the module....



... all it was was the connector was screwed up. I took a voltmeter, found it was getting power and emitting power. The red lead plug connector wasn't making good contact. I found the box under the Maxifuse/Relay Center, unbolted it and moved it out of the way, took the module out and tested it. Packed the connector FULL of dielectric silicone grease. Works like a charm -- I have defrost and heat! Even auto climate works flawless.

Thanks for the help. I wouldn't have been able to locate that box without good instructions...
