    alright so for the past few weeks or so I've been dealing with a faulty blower motor it seems. Well last week it totally stopped and I removed it (what a pain in the a$$). Anyways I found a dead mouse in there and a mouse nest. I assumed that the mouse nest was blocking the blades from spinnning so I put in back in there tested the fan and it work. Well the next day I go to warm up my truck, it stops working again, I drop it and my dad and I hook it up to a 12v and it spins works fine. Reinstall it loosely, hook it up, it works, then quits again. So I unpug it let it sit over night, replug it back in and it works. I shut it off and and hour later try again and it works so i tighten it back up and leave it. It works find the next day as well. Well today I went out to just start my truck cause i haven't run it all weekend. Turn on the fan, go outside to scrape snow off, get back into use the wipers and the fan has quite. (I kinda lost it and threw my snow scraper across the yard :jester:) anyways I know this is lengthy but I wanted to throughly explain it. Do you guys think its just the resistor is bad? Its not the motor itself, the fan spins freely and works with another 12 volt hooked up and always seem to work after I unplug it and let it sit.
    Thanks Guy!

    Thanks for the quick responses!! it sucks not having heat when its 25 degrees out! The relay is located behind the instrument panel correct? I can't seem to find a diagram but thats what im reading

    Another quick question I just thought of. Since its the blower/flasher relay, does that mean my hazard lights don't work either? Haven't used them in awhile but just thought I'd asked so I can check them tomorrow.

    that's weird that the hazards are on the same relay as the blower motor. A relay can't control both at the same time.

    That block probably has 2 relays in it one for the blower motor the other for the hazards.
