1995 K1500 Blower Motor & Resistor Replacement.

KyleKJ90 · February 1, 2010

Totally new here but after pricing the replacement of my blower motor and resistor for my 1995 Chevy Silverado I wanted to see if I could do it myself. I'm having a hard time locating the correct parts and don't want to purchase the wrong components. My truck is a 1995 K1500 Silverado with the Z71 off road package. She's got almost 250,000 miles on her and the blower motor makes a horrible screeching noise after being turned on for a while. Shortly before my LOW and MEDIUM fan settings quit working I noticed that the blower almost seemed to stop at times if it wasn't on HI. I'm assuming the fan/blower is just old & warped and needs to be replaced to correct the noise and the resistor needs to be replaced as well. However, I'm not quite sure how to do all this. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

How did you fix the problem? I have a 95 Silverado 2500 and the blower stopped working. I removed the blower and put it across the battery and it works. So, what could be the problem?

Check the fuse and meter the switch for voltage.

You can Get a Replacement Blower motor and Fan from most autoparts places You may want to look at replaceing the fan control modulator that sits on top of the blower box. Since you said that it had lost the med fan setting I've already had to replace the mod twice in my 95 c- 1500 truck. I was told By a friend that you will need to take a couple of bolts out from the pasenger side of the Dash to be able to remove the old fan. I've got to do the same thing on mine the Blower motor has a bad bearing and sometimes will not come on with without a little gentle persuation ( Tapping of Fan With Hand or screwdriver). I think the average price for the fan is $50 for motor and fan ( Yes go ahead and get a new fan the old one is so brittle it will fall apart if you try and take it off of the old one and its alot less hassle) the Modulator is under $15.
