So I recently replaced my blower motor relay and everything was working perfect for about a week, now, nothing. It won't work at all. And when I have the A.C. on high, with recirculation engaged, the blower motor relay buzzes; Like repeatedly cycles on off. And this only happens when the blower connector is connected to the blower. So it seems to only happen when there is an electrical load on the relay. I thought it was a bad relay so I warrantied it out, put a new one, and nothing. Exact same thing. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the motor has failed or maybe seized.Try taking the motor cover off and giving it a rap or two with the handle end of a big screwdriver,might jar it loose.You can always remove it and connect it directly to 12v to verify it's toast.

find a ball bearing motor.

I found one on ebay.

 

these trucks can catch on fire on the sleeve bearings.. and never even kill the resistor or relays or fuses or wires..

 

it must depend on locale, like where honda civics are fabulous.

 

if your motor does this just once, scrap it.. don't even clean it or fight with it.

maybe keep the fan part as a spare.

 

My first encounter was my 79, then a 1984.. and then I was in the air force.. lots of gm.. and now my 1996.

 

I could not wait to do what I wanted with my own.

So do you think if the blower motor was binded up it would cause the relay to constantly cycle?

I took it off and was able to easily spin it with no issues..

Check the condition of the connector,I've heard they go bad.Did you get a good quality resister?Maybe that new one is failing already.ACDelco or Delphi are OEM(IIRC).

 

I had to replace a failed motor a few years ago along with the HVAC controller,been running good since.

I Finally found the issue last night.. the recirculation mode door is shorted internally, causing there to be power on the ground for the whole circuit.. I disconnected it and everything started working perfectly. Guess when funds permit I will be replacing that actuator. Thank y'all for all the help!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
