Blower issues

[Tmaxxdriver88]

My cars heater blower worked fine until one day the blower decided it didn't want to turn on. I figured it was a bad realy or something but then when i got home after maybe a 30 minute ride it turned on as soon as I pulled into to my driveway. Man that was a cold ride. So then it worked fine after that up until last week were it did it again, blower won't turn on. This time it took 2 days then it would start working again. This is my daily driver so I can't afford to be risking not having my heater blower turning on since I have to leave at 5AM every morning when its coldest out. Any idea what the probelm may be?

Two possible issues here, much old discussion, but if you do not know the words to search, good luck finding the threads.
1. Blower motor brushes bad. Most small electrical engine places can replace. $20
2. Blower resistor bad. Usually only works in one speed then. $20

Then again, a vacuum hose could be loose. I recommend you look here http://www3.sympatico.ca/dean.anderson4/HeatingSystem.htm

I am having the same problem, it must be going around. I have a spare motor here, just need to find the time to put it in, the fact that the weather has been mild is not motivating me very much.

I would suspect the brushes are sticking, if it happens again, just try tapping the housing, if it starts again brushes are sticking/ worn out. replace brushings/ motor

Holy smokes dude, it must be nice living in florida, where I come from from we pray to the heater gods, god forbid a blown heater motor and heater core - watch out for race riots

Well it was down in the 20s farenheit a week or so ago. Florida is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get.

Sounds more like the ground has rusted away.
