Default Blower Motor Issues - Controller Looks Fine

All,

I have a 2002 C5 with Dual Climate AC. A couple days ago the AC quit blowing air from the vents. After doing research, I narrowed it down to the motor itself or the controller.

I just bench tested the motor and it works.

I also disassembled the controller and there doesn't seem to be signs of damage.





Fuse 51 is fine, #18 was fine, and #27 was a lil dark but not broken.

Any suggestion on where to check next?

LOL Pull the board off the heat sync and see if any of the traces are vaporized:

Thanks Bill, I ended up replacing fuse #27 and putting it all back together and seems to be working fine. I’ll check the back of the board if it starts acting up again. May have had a bad connection somewhere. Made sure everything was snapped in well.

If the fuse looked weird, there could be a poor fuse spade to fuse box connection. Break the old fuse in half and use one spade to push / pull test the fuse box fuse connections. They should be nice and snug when you insert and remove the spade.
