New blower only works on hi.

[eazyduzit509]

My old blower took a shit, and it dosnt work at all. Just got a brandnew one, layed it in the assembly and turned it on and it dosnt do anything until it gets to the hiest setting, as soon as i turn it down 1 notch it shuts off. Any ideas? I didnt plug in all the wires, just the one to the blower.

...you think that could be your problem?

the wires for the blower are plugged in, but the ones for the flaps and such are not. I figured if the blower is plugged in thats all i'd need before i install the whole thing.

Wires for the flaps? Arnt cbs manual flaps...

My friend Jason had this happen to his car. I don't know if it's the same for ours or not though but you might want to look into it. Check and see if there's a solenoid for the blower or somewhere in the wiring. If so then more than likely it's going out. At least that's what happened to him.

I got it, i had to plug in alll the wires, it didnt make sense cuz the blower was plugged in but i guess the flaps that change it to internal/external air had to be plugged in too, not just the one plug but all three or else it didnt work right. Kina weird.

There is a resistor pack somewhere in that wiring that wasn't plugged in. The reason it only worked on high was because that setting defaults to the full 12v. Without the resistor pack functioning to drop the voltage (you had an open circuit, since it wasn't connected at all), the lower fan speed settings don't work.

i think there is a resistor under your dash that went bad. check that rasta

alot of times different parts work in conjunction with others... try pluggin all the wires and see what happens and go from there.

I think the OP stated in this post here that he solved the issue

lol at the bush o rly

Yeah that's what I was getting at lol. He solved the problem. Then the next guy told him why it did what it did when everything wasn't hooked up which I learned something from. Then the next guy said that what was wrong is what was wrong lol. I'm just giving people shit this morning lol.
