So i woke up to another michigan morning with about half an inch of snow on the ground and some awsome ice on the windshield. I go out to start the truck and begin scraping to realize that the blower is not blowing at all. No heat, not cold no nothing, all i hear when i put the fan control all the way up is almost like a click and that is it.

What do i do? At first my girlfriend said that the seat memory does not work either, then i remembered that i never reset it after i changed the battery so it isnt a fuse i dont think becuase everything else works fine.

It worked fine last night too. Do you guys think it is the blower motor or what?

Any help and fast help would be great. Thanks in advance guys!

P.S. Sorry this might help, its a 95 Limited, i have changed the alternator and battery within the last month, and have a new alternator to replace the one that i just put in because it sucks ass and keeps fluctuating the volts when at idle. Do you think this might have burrned out the blower?

Assuming that you have checked the fuses, check to see if you have power to the blower motor at the firewall. You can also try tapping the blower motor.

yah, thanks for the advice, i can at least now get it working until i can get myself a new blower motor.

I have to tap on it every time i start the vehicle, and it sucks! lol.
 












Do you have the Electronic Automatic Climate Control, or the three knobs?

It could be a bunch of things. If you have the three knobs, tapping on the motor and having it necessarily a sign that the motor is bad. The resistor pack under the hood could have a bad connection, and tapping the housing could jiggle the connection enough to get it to make contact.
