1988 Corvette with the C68 electronic A/C control. Is the fault possibly the 3 inch square module on the right side of the evaporator case beside the blower motor under the hood? If So where could I get one of these. Is there a blower motor relay and where would it be located? Thanks for any help with this?

Whatever you do, don't "fix it'. I can remember if it was the late 60's or the early 70's that GM went to constant (key "On") hvac blower motor operation.

RACE ON!!!

A better description would help diagnosis. The blower control module (on top of the evaporator housing) gets a signal from the dash controller and supplies power to the blower motor. Ignition off, the blower motor should not run and if it does, the blower control module is defective.
It is normal for the blower motor to run, depending on the speed commanded by the dash controller EXCEPT when the dash controller is in OFF position.

Where is the blower control module located?

I had a similar problem with my 89.
But the blower fan ran even with the engine off & key out of ignition.

Turned out to be the blower control module fitted on top of the blower fan.

Got one off ebay $49

Description: AC blower motor power module with part numbers of #15-72561 with 16061602 on the unit.

Don't know if this helps any?

The blower control module is located on top of the evaporator housing. It also controls the compressor. The same module was used on all GM cars with climate control for many years. I got one at pick-n-pull for $9.00 (half price day) off a '92 cadillac. (they almost all have climate control)

All,
Thanks for all the timely feedback on this problem. I found the problem last night. I put the old module (ESC 203 (NAPA)) back in place on the right side of the evaporator case. Looking closer for a relay, I discovered the rubber hose from the back of the blower motor to the evap case was pulled off the evap case. I put it back on and the blower motor shut down. It fits a little loose so I tie wrapped it. All the blower control/speed/auto/heat works now.
Thanks Guys!!!

Kevv,
You didn't use the one I sent you then?

You might want to check the electrical connector at the Blower Motor. All the hose does is provide cooling for the motor. Having it hooked up, or not hooked up, shouldn't shut off the motor. I'd wriggle it around to make sure there isn't an intermittent. Check for a discolored hot lead too which would indicate that it's dropping volts. You can improve that by taking the connector apart and soldering the terminals to the leads. You may have a faulty motor too. Easier to tell by seeing how many amps it pulling on high. Something north of 20 amps probably means it's worn out.

Ok,
Sounds like good advice, will do this weekend.
Thanks

Hey Reggie88, give us a follow up. Did you ever find out where to get a new blower control module? I have the same problem on my 91 (climate control a/c) but I have not had any luck on finding a replacement control module.

RWDSmoke, did you have any problems using the blower control module from the 92 cadillac? I too am from S.A. and I may just have to make a run to pick-a-pull and hunt down a cadi if I can’t find a new unit.

Thanks, I replaced the module, and the blower stops, as it should, BUT now the wires that plug into the module gets REAL hot. I unpluged them so it wouldn't catch fire or melt. Have you had this condition ????
