Is there a blower motor relay?
The blower motor relay is the electrical switch that is used to supply the power for the vehicle’s blower motor. The blower motor is the component responsible for pushing air through the vents of your vehicle’s heating and air conditioning systems.
What is a blower relay?
In a blower motor, the relay supplies the power that allows the fans to circulate warmed air. Essentially an on/off switch, the blower motor relay’s reactions start and end the heating process in HVAC systems by controlling the flow of current between the power source and the motor.
What is a blower motor relay fuse?
The blower motor pushes the warm or cold air through your vehicle’s ventilation system. The blower motor is powered by a fuse-like device called a relay. If your heater or air conditioner does not blow air through the vents, this could indicate that the blower motor fuse has probably blown.
How do I know if my blower motor relay is bad?
If you have a faulty blower motor, you may experience low airflow from the vents, even when the fan is on high. There will be no air coming from the vents if your fan isn’t working due to a bad blower motor resistor.
Is there a fuse for the blower motor?
Many vehicles have two fuses for the blower motor, one in the interior fuse block and the other under the hood. The blower motor is usually under the dashboard on the passenger side.
What are the signs of a bad blower motor?
5 Signs Your Blower Motor Needs to Be Replaced

- No Airflow at All.
- Unusually High Energy Bills.
- Strange Sounds.
- Overheating.
How do you test a blower relay?
Connect a test light or multimeter to the ground (black lead). Turn the ignition key to the on position (engine off), and remove the relay. Using the probe, test all terminal sockets in the relay connector. Two of the four should have power.
