BLOWER MOTOR
INSPECTION
1. REMOVE BLOWER MOTOR
(a) Remove the glove compartment parts.
(b) Remove the A/C amplifier.
(c) Disconnect the connector from the blower motor.
(d) Remove the 3 screws and the blower motor.
2. INSPECT BLOWER MOTOR OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and
the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, then check that the motor op-
erations smoothly.
If operation is not as specified, replace the blower motor.
3. REINSTALL BLOWER MOTOR
Install the motor in the reverse order of step1.

If circuit is as specified, try replacing the amplifier with a new
one. If the circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits con-
nected to other parts.
(b) Connect the connector to A/C amplifier and inspect the
wire harness connector from the back side, as shown in
the chart below.
Tester conditions:
