Hi there,

Wondering if anyone had some ideas as to the problem or had experienced this
before and knows how to fix it.  Let me begin.

A while ago (1-2 years ago) I started loosing some speeds on the blower fan.
For the last 6 months I've had only high speed.  No problem, just changed
the blower motor resistor yesterday, and all the speeds are back now (when
the blower is working).

Something funny started about 2 weeks ago, I'd get in the truck and the fan
would work, then I'd park, and get back in, the fan didn't work.  In fact,
on occasion the fan wouldn't work, but I left it turned on, and 20 minutes
later as I drove the fan would just start.  Even this morning, the fan
worked during a trip, and then after stopping the truck for a while and
restarting it, the fan continued.  But right now, nope, it stopped again on
its own and just won't start.  There doesn't seem to be any consistency with
weather conditions either.

Yesterday I was testing things out and found that when power went to the fan
motor, it worked fine, but there wasn't always power going there.  So,
perhaps something in between.  Just to note, I've also jiggled around the
control panel with the fan switch and heater/ac controls, nothing seems to
change there.

Could it be a relay?  Are there more than one?

Any ideas?

Never-mind, found the problem.  Relay in the front of the truck by the
bumper...corrosion.,..

I have the same problem. I've been wiggling my switch with good results.

Just a thought...see if the relay by the bumper in the front has any
corrosion.

Just a thought ... why don't you quote so that others can follow along

Jeez Tyrone. Get a life. That was with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Don't
you just follow a thread when reading these?
Besides, including every response in a thread gets to be so long it becomes
boring....sort of like some who post.

True, but including the pertinent parts (like the specific parts
your'e addressing) makes it easy to follow along.

I have no idea what the original subject of this thread was/is since
there are so many new threads in so many groups I particiapte in each
day.

Quoting a portion isn't rocket science....
