In this video I show the quick step by step process on how you can fix the interior blower motor not working on number 1 2 and 3 speeds, in this vehicle which is a Volkswagen Golf the heater blower motor only comes on the high speed number 4. I show how I fixed this problem and how you can easily diy fix this yourself.
This is a common fault across many makes and model of vehicles, so if your heater cooler fan is not coming on in low speeds it is most likely the blower motor resistor.

The blower motor resistor can be tested before ordering any parts and the reason why the high speeds work and the low speeds don't is because on high speed/circuit it actually bypasses the resistor and goes direct full speed.

@MrJosephjoseph7 3 года назад

Hi If you have issue with blower not working at all , it is commonly fuse that is 40 amp fuse find that and check . If the fuse blow straight away once you change it remove the blower motor and try to rotate it , if it is stuck, use DW40 and release the stuck and try . If blower works only on number 4 , it is definitely blower motor resistor . Those are the common issues . I have tried this in vw touran and vw passat .

@MrProsperty 4 года назад

I changed the fan blower motor because it stopped blowing air but not it only works on 4 (max)... I changed the resistor and its still doing the same not blowing on 1, 2, or 3 just 4.... any ideas? I've also already checked the fuses.... Its for a 2011 chevy malibu if that helps

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 4 года назад

Sounds like switch or resistor fault. With the resistor electrical connector removed check the harness at different fan speeds and make sure the readings are correct from the switch down to the resistor. If you have the correct readings you may have a faultly resistor? Some electrical checks will confirm 100% without any parts replaced. If you are unsure of how to do it I would recommend getting it looked at. All the best with it 👍👌

@MrProsperty 4 года назад

@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I actually figured it out turns out it was the connections for the resistor wasn't getting a good contact it took forever just to figure it out after I checked everything and stripped the whole car down lol

my blower motor is only blowing on speeds 1 and 2 and whenever i go past 2 it turns the speed back down to 1. if i replace the resistor will it work for this problem?

Great video Get as always. I'm curious, was that a spurious part or how come you had to file out the notch? I suppose she fits a couple of diff vw/seat models

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 5 лет назад

I presume the resistor fitted a few options. It is not uncommon for slight adjustments on aftermarket parts so once it was the same in the other areas I didn't hesitate to fit it. Thanks for your kind words as always.

@amana1480 5 лет назад

On my VW GOLF MK5 the fault was a faulty fan selector switch. This also made the resistor burn out and 40amp fuse blow... so the selector switch had to be replaced.... In my experience, the blower motor resistor normally burns out for a reason...

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 5 лет назад

The resistor is the most common fault in these cases, of course there are other much less % possibilities, I disagree with your resistor normal burns out for a reason comment, if by reason you mean another primary fault and the resistor is a secondary fault. A blower motor resistor is usually the primary cause in my experience across all makes and models not just VW. I have replaced tons of resistors over the years without having to go back in and replace other items. If you have fuses blown that usually tells you a different story. Thanks for the comment and your input.

@amana1480 5 лет назад

@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage Okay you may be right. But if you replace the resistor, and it burns out again soon after you replace it, then the fault is elsewhere (like it was on my car)....

@johnmurrell3175 3 года назад

@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage The reason for the resistor burning out can be low airflow from the fan due to a blocked filter or obstruction in the duct as the air from the fan is used to cool the resistor as it dissipates a lot of heat for the size of the resistor. It is possible that running the fan with the air vents closed may reduce the airflow sufficiently to overheat the resistor and blow the thermal fuse.

@rudewizard85 4 года назад

What about if 4 doesnt work but 1 2 3 do?

@johnmurrell3175 3 года назад

I have not checked the circuit but my guess would be the switch has failed in position 4 possibly due to overload. Has the supply fuse blown in the past ? Also if you turn the ignition on with the switch in position 4 the inrush current is about 150A which could fry contacts.
