Questions; My '87 XT-4's heater fan only blows on 2 & 3

Featured Replies

1 & 4 do not work at all. It's getting colder, so having a working blower may come in handy for the defroster very soon. On many American cars there is a resistor that works in conjunction with the blower switch. If the resistor goes out, the blower will show symptoms similar to those on my XT. Is there a similar resistor on my XT. If so, where is it? The four position switch is mounted in the console. If there is no resistor, do I have to remove the console to get at the switch, or is there an easier way to remove it? I don't see where it could "pop out". How hard is it to remove the console? It looks rather difficult.

Not too sure about an XT, but on others i know the resistors are in the air duct itself beside the motor.

 

There is a current thread on this titled... "blower quit working...couple questions"

 

This thread shoud give you an idea of what is wrong:brow:

 

Good Luck

Yes, the resistor is beside the motor, behind the glove box.

 

Yes, the center console needs to be taken out to get to the switch. It is a pain in the rump roast, but is do-able.

Snowman had a thread about this about a year ago. Lots of good info. You might try a search and see what you uncover.
