I have power and ground to the module and ground from the module to the blower motor but no power to the motor. Also when I add ground and power to the motor it doesn’t run. Does that mean it beds both motor and module? Or could the blower motor be being bad cause the module not to provide power?

@sergioflores7169 10 месяцев назад

I have an issue with my blower module. I was told that if the blower module goes bad it can take out the blower motor and vice versa. If the blower motor has too much resistance ( a worn bushing maybe) it can damage the module. One should replace both at the same time, more so if they are original items on an older vehicle.

Thanks for another great vid Paul, and great camera work Caleb! Always good for me to see these vehicles on your channels, since I own a '07 Silverado. One day this part is pretty much guaranteed to fail on all of them. God knows my truck has had it's share of failures. Latest is monitors that won't run. Might be time for a t-stat replacement ... or something deeper. For now, running with the black "R" on the windshield (inspection stickers in MA: "R" = rejected: Black "R" = emissions, Red "R" = safety). Frankly I'm tired of spending money just to keep this pile "emissions legal" when it runs just fine. Only 5 more years until it's exempt ... if the engine makes it that long! Bad valvetrain components on these AFM 5.3's ... :(

@ScannerDanner Год назад

Good call on that module. There is no input we need to worry about when the fan module keeps the blower on without an ignition feed. Because everything is powered down. Make sense? Good job on checking your blower module (resistor) inputs though. Thank you!

@2Jeezuzisreal 3 месяца назад

On my 05 Yukon the wires fried 2 times. bypassed that resistor you're holding. Eliminated it. I use the heavier 10 wire and ran it to the battery but decided to connect into that red box under the alternator. Used a 30 amp fuse. I bought a heavy switch mounted on the dash. Has only one speed. But I also have the rear heater variable. I've had unusual amount of problems with the actuator doors not opening or closing properly so I in the back I opened a hole through the sidewall and permanently put in a screw to hold the flapper door up in the heat position. Since my AC doesn't work anyway

The wires will "fry" when you have connection issues. Resistance equals heat.

@MrBorntoroll 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video! Case studies are fun. GM managed to invent a complicated module for a simple job :D It could be just a single n-channel mosfet transistor, a beefy one, looking at power ground and pwm controll, but I didn't see PWM ground (must be very fast switching), at least the one that could be detected with verus scope.

@ScannerDanner 6 лет назад

I don't think the ground was being controlled using a PWM principle , I had my scope set on a 6 mega sample screen and I definitely would have seen the pulses. The climate control module to blower motor control module signal was a PWM signal, but that was it. I misspoke in the video saying the blower itself was being controlled that way. It certainly looked like some type of stepped circuit where resistance was being added and subtracted. Not exactly sure how they were doing it to be honest.

@ScannerDanner 6 лет назад

Why? It's a circuit board that gets stressed by a lot of heat. Nothing wrong with the connector and it would not have continued to work indefinitely. If I had time, better eyes and a magnifying glass, I bet I could have visually shown the failure on that board. Thanks Steve!

@mostlymoparih5682 6 лет назад

My wife's 02 T&C had a low fan then no fan so I pulled the resistor or module and with a VOM I measured to see if there was an open or short. Back history, I had this happen on my T&C and so I know there are four pins that should have resistance reading on them. My wife's van had 2 pins with no resistance at all. So module or resistor is bad. But this was a deja vu so I knew where the Easter eggs were hidden. Now that I saw this I going to take that dew hickey apart and sea if I can see what you kneaded readers four4. Just kidding, gonna use a magnifying glass eye use readers two2. Great video professor and thanks.

@davidyork751 6 лет назад

I know what happens, just figured it out with all of them, the blower motor shaft gets rusty and causes the bearing to rust and shaft then puts a lot of pressure on the motor and causes the resistor to burn out or just shut down the motor completely, I just fixed it by adding a little bit of 20 weight oil to the shop to turn the remove the blower and turn the blower upside down with a squirrel cage is facing down for a little bit of oil in there at a time and keep spinning it and spin until it comes free and all fixed, so there isn't a sealed bearing in there and the condensing from the air conditioner causes moisture and rust everything up.

@davesage9190 6 лет назад

Understanding that you don't really have the time or financial incentive to do so - but it is really satisfying to actually fix one of those modules. As you pointed out it is likely a cracked solder joint and the symptom pointed you to it likely being the motor ground connector pin. Just take a minute or two and get the big soldering iron (or gun) out and reflow the solder on the pin connections (and everything else nearby) on the pc board, adding a bit of solder to make it flow nice. It's a good feeling when you can save your customer - what? - maybe $100 and if it's your own vehicle, your own money. A feather in your cap too (and maybe future business) if you can tell the customer you saved them the money too. (Sorry I guess I've spent too many years in the electronics business fixing equipment to component level ) :-) I can understand if your industry has a different outlook. Good troubleshooting technique Paul. Thanks. I enjoy your videos. davesage.ca/

@ScannerDanner 6 лет назад

I'm totally with you Dave but what you didn't see in an edit was I was not prepared to fix this one. My eyesight is not what it used to be and I definitely needed a magnifying glass to even attempt it. Then the only soldering gun I carry with me is a butane one that is not meant for such small soldering. Thanks for watching! Next time maybe, I'll be able to do the component level fix. I wish I could have too

@davesage9190 6 лет назад

No Problem Paul. It wasn't meant to be a negative comment. More meant to let others know that there is a possible further step that can add great satisfaction if successful. Especially when it's your own piece of equipment and money your saving. My home furnace quit a few years ago and through a similar process I traced the problem to a cracked solder joint on the controller circuit board. Seems they thought it was a good idea to solder a heavy transformer onto the circuit board in a furnace that is continuously vibrating. Soldered it up and away it went. The alternative was to try to find an obsolete replacement controller or a new furnace for a few thousand bucks. Made me feel good to fix the whole problem. Thanks Paul. Keep up the good work.
