Re: [DML] Fan Blower Only #4 works

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

In general I disapprove of just replacing parts blindly. A complaint 
of no #4 fan speed could be caused by too many things from a defective 
fan speed switch to a wire not connected to a missing relay to a burnt 
connecter to the relay. You really have to do a little troubleshooting 
to try to narrow down the source of the problem. I think I would start 
by pulling the #4 speed relay and checking the wiring and if the 
proper voltages are present. You could also jump out the relay with a 
paper clip to verify power and wiring to the fan motor. With a test 
light or a meter you can make sure the fan speed switch is OK. On an 
older car you can never take anything for granted. I just read how 
someone bought a car in an auction and after buying it tried the 
wipers. Not only didn't they work but there was no motor or 
linkage! The wipers were just bolted on!

ground wires on the relays for the fan speed had burnt very heavly on 
my car, and along with a bad relay i was having a similar problem. 
New wire and a relay (replace the relays is a good idea, the fan speed 
is one of the most used relays in the car)and it works now.
