Blower motor
On my 87' the fan does not blow on HIGH. Blows on low, and mediums, but stops when switched to HIGH

Re: Blower motor
I had this same problem, turned out to be the black ground wire under the hood from the blower motor to the firewall.

Re: Blower motor
Low speeds go through the resistor. It's fine.
High speed goes through the relay. Replace it. I replaced mine about a month ago. $7 If the fuse blows after installing it, you'll have to open the relay. Later models have a resistor built in. I had to cut the resistor out so it would not blow fuses. It's November and I'm still driving around with the A/C at full blast!! |

Also my blower motor doesn't move a whole lot of air even on max. I'm going to do that mod where you replace the blower motor with one out of a 94 pickup. They move a lot more air supposedly. |

Re: Blower motor
Mine is also does not blow much out of the vents but I think mine has something to do with that flap. I can feel the air out of the floor vets even then the selector is on MAX AC

Re: Blower motor
The A/C relay is behind the accumulator. In this pic, it's right above the low pressure switch. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...54440533aYRkDg
It's painted black. The new one will be shiny "aluminum". Check the wiring. Since full voltage goes through it on max air, wires have a tendancy to burn up. Corrosion is also a problem. Next a fan cuts off, wiggle the wires at the relay. If it comes on and off, the wiring is bad. A stock fan, with all the vents properly open by vaccuum, will blow a lot of air in the cab. I can hear air going to the vents in my truck. |

Re: Blower motor
I have seen the switch be the problem with this too.
