2005 CHRYSLER VOYAGER engine

whenever the ignition switch is in the On position
and the A/C-heater control power is turned on.
The blower motor receives battery current when-
ever the front blower motor relay is energized. The
front blower motor relay output circuit is protected
by a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM)
located in the engine compartment near the battery.
In the manual heater-A/C system, the blower motor
speed is controlled by regulating the path to ground
through the blower control switch and the blower
motor resistor. In the ATC system, the blower motor
speed is controlled by an electronic blower motor
power module, which uses a pulse width modulated
input from the ATC module and feedback from the
blower motor to regulate the blower motor ground
path it provides. The blower motor and wheel are
used to control the velocity of air moving through the
HVAC housing by spinning the blower wheel within
the housing at the selected speed or, in the ATC sys-
tem, at the selected or programmed speed.

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.BLOWER MOTOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS
(1) Check the fuse (Fuse 10 - 40 ampere) in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM). 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 On position. Be
certain that the A/C-heater control power is turned
on. Check for battery voltage at the fuse (Fuse 10 -
40 ampere) in the IPM. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, check the front blower motor relay.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the front HVAC wire harness connector
for the front blower motor resistor block (Manual
Temperature Control) or the front blower motor
power module (Automatic Temperature Control) from
the resistor or module connector receptacle. Recon-
nect the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition
switch to the On position. Be certain that the A/C-
heater control power is turned on. Check for battery
voltage at the fused front blower motor relay output
circuit cavity of the front HVAC wire harness connec-
tor for the front blower motor resistor block (MTC) or
the front blower motor power module (ATC). If OK,
go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused front
blower motor relay output circuit to the IPM as
required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the front blower motor pigtail wire con-
nector from the connector receptacle of the front
blower motor resistor block (MTC) or the front
blower motor power module (ATC). Use jumper wires
to connect a battery and ground feeds to the blower
motor pigtail wire connector. The blower motor
should operate. If OK with MTC, proceed to diagno-
sis of the front blower motor resistor block (Refer to
24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS
- FRONT/BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). If OK with ATC, use a DRBIII
scan tool to diagnose the front blower motor power
module. Refer to Body Diagnostic information. If not
OK with MTC or ATC, replace the faulty front blower
motor.

BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is a 12-volt, Direct Current (DC)
motor with a squirrel cage-type blower wheel that is
secured to the blower motor shaft. The blower motor
and wheel are located near the top of the rear HVAC
housing in the passenger compartment behind the
right rear wheel house. The rear HVAC housing must
be removed from the vehicle to access the blower
motor for service. The blower motor and blower
motor wheel are a factory balanced unit and cannot
be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the
blower motor and blower wheel must be replaced as
a unit.
OPERATION
On models equipped with the Manual Temperature
Control (MTC) system, the rear blower motor will
operate only whenever the ignition switch is in the
On position, the front blower control switch is in any
position except Off and the rear blower control switch
on the front A/C-heater control is in any position
except Off. On models equipped with the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) system, the blower motor
will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the
On position, the A/C-heater control power is turned
on and the rear blower control switch on the front
A/C-heater control is in any position except Off. The
rear blower motor can only be turned off by turning
off the rear system at the front A/C-heater control.
The rear blower motor receives battery current
whenever the rear blower motor relay is energized.
The rear blower motor relay output circuit is pro-
tected by a fuse in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM) located in the engine compartment near the
battery. In the MTC system, the rear blower motor
speed is controlled by regulating the path to ground
through the blower control switch and the blower
motor resistor. In the ATC system, the rear blower
motor speed is controlled by an electronic blower
motor power module, which uses a pulse width mod-
ulated input from the ATC control module and feed-
back from the rear blower motor to regulate the
blower motor ground path it provides. The rear
blower motor and wheel are used to control the veloc-
ity of air moving through the rear HVAC housing.
The rear blower motor controls the velocity of the air
flowing through the rear HVAC housing by spinning
the blower wheel within the housing at the selected
speed or, in the ATC system, at the selected or pro-
grammed speed.
