Re: heater motor

your heater switch is actually a resistor. resistors dissapate voltage by way of heat.on low, the resistor restricts the voltage to the blower motor. on medium, it restricts less and the motor blows faster. on high, the voltage goes straight through from the battery to the motor. resistors do burn out over time. so if its not a loose wire, most likely the switch is burned out. when it burns out, the switch no longer lowers the voltage and your blower motor blows full on. hope this helps

Re: heater motor

Are you sure that the switch and resistor are one in the same??

I'm looking at a catalog and it shows the switch and resistor as separate parts.. Unless there's something I'm missing...

The resistor is from $5 to $8...

My heater blows on high only too.. But, I thought I saw the resistor at one point, but I may have pulled it out trying to find a short...
