I've got a 1993 Accord EX and the A/C blower motor is not coming on. The A/C works but the blower isn't. I checked the fuses but they are fine. What else should I check? How hard is it to replace? Is it hard to get to?

Thnaks!

 

If it's what I think it is, on my years 94-97 the blower fan is held in by 3 bolts and is located next to the glove box (behind it) you may just have a bunch of leaves and **** in there. I would check that out.

 

check the blower motor resistor as well.

 

Thanks for the info. Where is the resistor located?

Also, this info might help the diagnosis. The last time the blower was working I was sitting in traffic at a stop light and my engine was idling very low and the blower went off and hasn't come back on. That's what led me to check the fuses and they were fine. So you're saying it could be the resistor?

Is the resistor hard to replace? How costly?

Thanks again!!

 

I can't recall the location of it on the Accord, it should be near the blower motor though. I would have to look in my manual.

on my Civic, I hadn't used the blower all summer and then fall had come, a cool morning I needed my defrost and turned it on 1. Didn't seem to do anything so I turned it up to 3. I then noticed I couldn't hear the motor running and I could smell something burnt. I turned the blower off and after work I took the glove box out and got to the resistor. The coils on the resistor were gone, so I replaced it. I pulled the motor out and went to spin the blades and it wouldn't spin. I had to really turn it to break it free. So I replaced that as well. After that it was all good. So I figure the blower motor seized and when I turned it on the resistor got hot and blew. The resistor should be sitting in the box with the blower motor so the air that the motor is pushing keeps it cool.

it's not hard to replace the resistor and I want to say it was something like $30 from the dealer.

 

Great!! Thanks for the helpful info TouringAccord!! I really appreciate it! I'll check it out.

 

Thanks MuffinMan!! I'll check that out!

 

yep, no problem

Edit:
nevermind, that diagram was wrong

here is the correct one...


Part #8 is the Blower Resistor
Part #5 is the Blower Motor
Part #6 and #7 are the Blower Fans
