Default Blower Fan Problems

Over the past 2 weeks or so, my 2000 with dual control was having a problem with the fan. The fan wouldn't come on at first, then after 30 seconds to a minute it would come on. Sometimes it would come on like normal. Now it wont come on at all. Everything appears normal, you can even feel a little heat but no fan. I checked all the fuses, and disconnected the battery for a while but nothing. Does this sound like a controler of some sort. If so, where can I get on, and how hard to replace?

Thanks,
FP

My blower just went out on me a couple of weeks ago; it also started acting up a few days before it quit altogether. Are you absolutely sure your fan isn't blowing out of any vent; even the defroster?

If you're sure; since you've already checked your fuses, pull the passenger side knee panel and drop the blower down (three brass 7/32 (I think) hex bolts and a wiring harness; very easy) and test it off of the battery.

If it won't run with direct 12V power to it then you need a new blower (I found one in stock at the Advance Auto Parts near me). If it does run then you have a circuit issue. Let us know what happened and we'll go from there...
