    Blower motor speed

    Blower motor speed

    Well, the 3rd one blew so it can't be 3 bad resistors..it's blowing when i first crank the engine and not when i adjust the fan speed...so I guess I can pull off the dash console where the heat/ac and radio is and look at the wiring to see if maybe there's insulation worn off and it's touching...

    Blower motor speed

    since the HI has always and does work I would assume it is not the HI speed relay.....If it was the other relay gone bad would the LO, MED & MED HI work at all, even after I changed the resistor again...? also, replaced the resistor again Sat...noticed when i bought the 2nd replacement that it...

    Blower motor speed

    I have a 1996 xlt v8...about a month ago the blower motor started working only on high speed...researched it to being the blower motor resistor..replaced that and it started working normal again on all speeds. Yesterday it did the same thing again....high speed only...and the new resistor has...

    1996 exp.v8 whining

    Thanks for all the replies.... thought it might be tranny at first also, but was able to trace the noise to the front where all the pulleys are.... turns out it was the tensioner pulley ($13..thank goodness).... quiet as it can be now.... that nut on the idler/tensioner pullet is a booger to...
