IGNITION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The ignition switch is located on the steering col-
umn. It is used as the main on/off switching device
for most electrical components. The mechanical key
cylinder is used to engage/disengage the electrical
ignition switch.
OPERATION
Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission and a steering column mounted shifter:
an interlock device is located within the shift cable.
This interlock device is used to lock the transmission
shifter in the PARK position when the key cylinder is
in any position and the brake pedal is not depressed.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - IGNITION SWITCH
TEST AND REPAIR
If the key removal effort is excessive on a vehicle
with a automatic transmission first adjust the shift
linkage, (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANS-
AXLE/AUTOMATIC - 46RE/GEAR SHIFT CABLE -
ADJUSTMENTS).
If the ignition switch effort is excessive remove the
ignition key cylinder from the steering column. (Refer

BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is controlled by a rotary-type
blower motor switch, mounted in the A/C-heater con-
trol. The switch allows the selection of one of four
different blower motor speeds and includes an Off
position.
OPERATION
The blower motor switch provides a blower motor
ground path through the A/C-heater mode control
switch. The blower motor switch directs this ground
path through or around the blower motor resistor
wires, as required to achieve the selected blower
motor speed.
The blower motor switch cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire A/C-heater control
must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BLOWER MOTOR
SWITCH
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, further details on wire
harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the A/C-heater control from the instrument
panel (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/CONTROLS/A/C HEATER CONTROL -
REMOVAL). Check for continuity between the
ground circuit cavity of the A/C-heater control wire
harness connector and a good ground. There should
be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair
the open circuit to ground as required.
(3) With the A/C-heater control wire harness con-
nector disconnected, place the A/C-heater mode con-
trol switch in any position except the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit ter-
minal and each of the blower motor driver circuit ter-
minals of the A/C-heater control as you move the
blower motor switch to each of the four speed posi-
tions. There should be continuity at each driver cir-
cuit terminal in only one blower motor switch speed
position. If OK, test and repair the blower driver cir-
cuits between the A/C-heater control connector and
the blower motor resistor as required. If not OK,
replace the faulty A/C-heater control.
DEFROST DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The defrost door actuator is a reversible, 12-volt
Direct Current (DC), servo motor. The defrost door
actuator is located on the driver side end of the
HVAC housing, underneath the instrument panel
and is mechanically connected to the defroster door.
The defrost door actuator is interchangeable with
the actuators for the mode door, blend door(s) and
the recirculation door. Each actuator is contained
within an identical black molded plastic housing with
an integral wire connector receptacle. Integral
mounting tabs allow the actuator to be secured with
three screws to the HVAC housing. Each actuator
also has an identical output shaft with splines that
connects it to the linkage that drives the proper door.
The defrost door actuator does not require mechani-

BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor and blower wheel are located in
the passenger side end of the HVAC housing, below
the glove box. The blower motor controls the velocity
of air flowing through the HVAC housing by spinning
a squirrel cage-type blower wheel within the housing
at the selected speed. The blower motor and wheel
can be removed from the housing inside the vehicle
without removing the instrument panel or HVAC
housing.
OPERATION
The blower motor will only operate with the igni-
tion switch in the On position and the A/C-heater
mode control switch in any position, except Off. The
blower motor receives a fused battery feed circuit
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) whenever the ignition switch is in the On posi-
tion. Blower motor speed is controlled by regulating
the ground path through or around the blower motor
resistor block and through the A/C-heater blower
motor switch.
The blower motor and blower motor wheel are ser-
viced only as a unit and cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, must be replaced.
