Hey Gents,
My truck consistently burns out the blower motor relay (behind glovebox) so that it only has speeds 1-3. Everytime I replace the relay, it typically lasts about a month or so before it goes out again. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it?
Thanks!
Notes on mine:
- I hadn't confirmed it but I'm pretty sure this happens when I leave the fan on high while starting the truck. I don't beleive it's ever done this when the fan wasn't on when starting the truck.
- This has never happened during driving, only seems to stop working (burn out) when starting the truck with fan on high.
- I don't believe it's brand/quality related as I have done AC delco and after market brands with the same effect. I replaced the switch panel on the dash just to be safe and it didn't change anything. (Mine is a 95 so I swapped out to one of the newer (96+) AC declo switch panels that are manufactured for a 95.)
- I do have some sort of grounding issue on the motor that I have never figured out. I eventually ran an individual ground for it to the support "Cross pipe" right above it.
