I drive an 2003 Acura TL. This week, the fan stopped blowing air, regardless of what setting the temperature / A/C is one.

I pulled out the blower motor and connected a multimeter to it. The reading is 0 volts with the ignition set to off, 9.5 volts with the ignition set to on with the HVAC turned off, and about 11 volts with the HVAC turned on.

I took it to a shop this morning. The mechanic there said that he does not know A/C well, but he tried connecting the blower motor directly to the car's 12V battery and it came to life. I don't understand what could be going wrong here.

What should I check next?

  • Did you commect your meter to the harness connector or the motor? Did you check the ground side of the circuit?

On BMWs when the blower motor goes off the reservation, it is usually the final stage/blower motor resistor. Does your car have one of those? If so, check it as it could be bad.
