Blower Motor Resistor
Removal & Installation
WARNING!
The blower motor resistor may get very hot during normal operation. If the blower motor was turned on prior to
servicing the blower motor resistor, wait five minutes to allow the blower motor resistors to cool before per-
forming diagnosis or service. Failure to take this precaution can result in possible personal injury.
CAUTION:
DONT operate the blower motor with the blower motor resistor removed from the circuit. Failure to
take this precaution can result in vehicle damage.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the glove box (See Instrument Panel Removal & Installation in Section 15 Body & Accessories).
3. Disconnect the blower motor resistor electrical connector.

Description
All models are equipped with a common HVAC housing assembly that combines A/C and heating capabilities into a
single unit mounted within the passenger compartment. The HVAC housing assembly consists of three separate
housings:
•HVAC housing — The HVAC housing is mounted to the dash panel behind the instrument panel and contains
the A/C evaporator. The HVAC housing has mounting provisions for the air inlet housing, blower motor and the
air distribution housing.
• Air distribution housing — The air distribution housing is mounted to the rear of the HVAC housing and con-
tains the heater core, blend-air and mode-air doors and door linkage.
• Air inlet housing — The air inlet housing is mounted to the passenger side end of the HVAC housing. The air
inlet housing contains the recirculation-air door and actuator.
Operation
The A/C system is designed for the use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C evaporator to cool and
dehumidify the incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air. Temperature control determines the discharge air
temperature by operating the temperature control cable, which moves the blend-air door. This allows an almost
immediate control of the output air temperature of the system. The mode door cable operates the mode-air doors
which direct the flow of the conditioned air out the various air outlets, depending on the mode selected. When
equipped with A/C, the recirculation door actuator operates the recirculation-air door which closes off the fresh air
intake and recirculates the air already inside the vehicle. The electric recirculation door actuator and the blower motor
are connected to the vehicle electrical system by the instrument panel wire harness. The blower motor controls the
velocity of air flowing through the HVAC housing assembly by spinning the blower wheel within the HVAC housing at
the selected speed by use of the blower motor resistor, which is around the blower motor.
The air distribution housing must be removed from the HVAC housing and disassembled for service of the blend-air
and mode-air doors. The air inlet housing must be removed from the HVAC housing and disassembled for service of
the recirculation-air door. The HVAC housing must be removed from the vehicle and disassembled for service of the
A/C evaporator.

Installation Notes:
• Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them and new gaskets onto the refriger-
ant line fittings.
• Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a special material for the R-134a system.
• Use only refrigerant oil recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
• Recharge the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Condition-
ing).
Blower Motor
Description
The blower motor is mounted in the HVAC housing. The following are blower motor functions:
•The blower motor will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position and the blower motor control
is in any position except Off.
• The blower motor can be accessed for service from underneath the instrument panel.
• The blower motor and blower motor wheel are factory balanced as an assembly and cannot be adjusted or
repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged.
Operation
The blower motor is used to control the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing by spinning the blower
wheel within the HVAC air inlet housing at the selected speed. The blower motor is a 12-volt, direct current (DC)
motor mounted within a plastic housing with an integral wire harness connector. The blower wheel is secured to the
blower motor shaft and is positioned within the air inlet housing on the passenger side of the HVAC housing.

Evaporator
Description
The evaporator core is located in the HVAC housing, under the instrument panel. The evaporator coil is positioned in
the HVAC housing so that all air that enters the housing must pass over the fins of the evaporator before it is dis-
tributed through the system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the evaporator core fins will only be con-
ditioned when the compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through the evaporator coil tubes.
Operation
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the orifice tube as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As air flows over
the fins of the evaporator, the humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from the air is absorbed by the
refrigerant. Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas
before it leaves the evaporator. The evaporator core housing directs airflow from the blower motor through the evap-
orator core and heater core. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator core. The airflow is then
directed through or around the heater core by the temperature blend door(s).
Removal & Installation
1. Evacuate the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Conditioning).
2. Remove the expansion valve.
3. Remove the HVAC housing (See HVAC Housing Removal and Installation in Section 13 Heating & Air Condi-
tioning).
4. Remove the retaining bolts and screws.
5. Remove the evaporator core.
6. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them and new gaskets onto the refriger-
ant line fittings.
• Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a special material for the R-134a system.
• Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
• Recharge the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating & Air Condition-
ing).
Condenser
Description
The condenser is located in the air flow in front of the engine cooling radiator. The condenser transforms the refrig-
erant from a gas into a liquid. It is attached to the vehicle with bolts and the A/C lines with fittings.
Operation
When the heat is removed from the refrigerant, it condenses. When the refrigerant leaves the condenser, it becomes
a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper cooling
performance of the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is important that there are no objects placed in front of the
radiator grille openings in the front of the vehicle or foreign material on the condenser fins that might obstruct proper
air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals or shrouds must be properly reinstalled following radiator or condenser
service.
