I diagnosed a bad blower motor resistor pack since I only had the highest fan speed working. I bought a new resistor pack and removed the old resistor pack which was fairly rusty.
The connector was so stuck onto the resistor pack that I bought another kit with the resistor pack and the pigtail connector.
I was extra careful to match the wiring from the old pig tail to the new one.
I Installed one of the new resistor packs and attached the pigtail harness and nothing. No fan at all.
Checked the 30amp fuse and its fine.
I pulled the pack out to inspect and it looked fine
With the new pigtail laying accross the engine compartment (not fully installed) I connected the second, new resistor pack and the blower worked fine. Cool.
I then installed the second resistor pack in place (I didn't even remove it from the pigtail - I just lowered the assembly into place and secured the two screws.) and NOTHING
Checked the fuse - it is still fine. I am at a loss.
To recap - the second new pack worked while laying on the engine but when installed it stopped working.
I did not disconnect the battery wires - maybe that is the issue. I did a ohms test on the second pack and it ohm'ed out fine.
Thoughts?
