Blower motors will only run on high speed? (1 Viewer)

[bj461a]

I finally got around to getting my rear heater fan towork. It does work now, but only on the High speed setting. Then I noticed that my front blower only works on Hihg as well. Any advice as to where to look at getting this fixed ?

Blown resistor. It looks like a roll of candies, its sitting horizontally on top of the blower motor in the engine bay. Replace it, or find where the break is and repair it for a [very] temporary fix.

dont know your specific ...

model, but on my fj40-1/69 that resistor is in the air stream of the blower, so dismounting the blower is required to see it and or to repair it.

P.S. DONT RUN THE BLOWER AND TOUCH THE RESISTOR. sometimes they run very hot during operation.

The resistor gives you the low speed on the front heater blower. The rear heater fan only works on the high setting on the fan switch and its speed is not controlled by the front blower resistor. The rear heater fan has only one speed.

Like bsevans said. The rear fan only works on "high".

NO low speed on both blower motors

can anyone provide some info as to why both my blower motors will not operate on the low speed setting ?

Where do I start looking ? I am proficient with an ohm meter, I just do not have any info as yet on where to begin.

the resistor thingy on the blower unit itself, under the hood is probably bad for the front, looks like a roll of lifesavers with wires attached

can't help on the back mine only works on high also.

so i was out installing a new used rear blower motor and it has 2 wires coming from it. At first i thought that one was ground and one was power however the motor grounds itself to the base. So i touched one wire to power at a time and the both are power and seems to have different speeds however i only have one wire running to the rear heater. Why does the heater motor have two wires if it only has a high speed?

ONe wire goes to the resister (low speed) the second wire goes to the high speed switch

Need part # for Blower motor resistor

My local Toyota dealer is of no help.
Where can I get a replacement resistor from ? Any one have a part # or source ?

Go here:Front Heater Fun and about two thirds down the page will be the part number you need and where to get it.

Mine was broken also
Replaced it with a high power low resistance.
You can get these in a specialised electronics shop
