Heater blower motor not working Recently the car was letting water into the passager side and I found the front floor soaked. A repairman found that he had to made a shield to keep water out, but he feels that the motor must got damage from the water. Pick up another motor and resistor, but need instructions how my husband can replace this part. Or do you have a better suggestion.

If the floor was wet, you need to replace the heater core. The s80 is the easiest core replacement I have ever done. It is under dash on the driver's side. Just remove the two bolts, slide the old core out and slide the new core in.

As you can read in the first response that is most likely the problem..as long as you're gonna be doing all the labor, if you can afford it replace both the resistor and motor at he same time if you plan on keeping the car.

Well, do you suspect rain? If not, a/c water does this. It is remarkably clean, compared to other leaks...Look for little black press on hoses about 1/2 inch in diameter...often dislodged in error by a foot or repair guy.....

This drain comes from the very bottom of the heater box areas...

SOURCE: fan blower motor only works

That's what it sounds like to me.

If the blower is making noise than the only thing you can do is replace it.

Blower resistors typically operate by dropping voltage through a set of resistors. The lower the speed the more resistance is needed. High speed requires no resistance and usually bypasses the resistor assembly.

I have a 2012 Patriot, no sun roof. Recently began to find the passenger side floor soaked. I can hear water exchanging from someplace on right front area like water trapping someplace.

Check your car with a garden hose. I have seen leaks in around the windshield.. Could even be a leak around your driver's side door.

Hello. I have a Pontiac G5 2007. Rain water flooded the floor mat of my car. All the windows and sun roof were closed. The sun roof was dry, what might have caused this. Thanks in advance.

I had this problem once with mini-van that I owned and it turned out that the grill on the outside, at the base of the windshield had plugged with tree debris and the water could not find the drain hole so it backed up and came in under the dash and filled the cavity where the blower motor for the heater sits.

I cleaned that out, pulled the blower motor and dried the tub it sat in which by then had mildewed, then put it all back together and things were fine. The blower motor had shorted out by the way so I had the fun of buying and installing a new one.

Front passenger side floor is soaking wet.

Sounds like the a/c drain is clogged up you need to look on the firewall near the bottom behind engine pull drain stop of and clean it out and see if that takes care of your problem .

The heater quit blowing

Go under the hood and check the corrections to the blower moter with the ignition on .Its on the fire wall on the passagers side up high . Wiggle the wires if it starts to work you have found the problem and its a common one .Then pull the connecters and clean them . Its the first thing to do and costs nothing

Cant find heater core 1989 dodge caravan , need to see if it is not working. any advice?

Your heater core is in your dash, and yes, its a pain to get to. My dad and I did my grandma's in the same minivan, and we ended up taking out the front seat just to give us extra work room. Usually if your heater core is bad, you will have a big wetspot in the passenger side floor board. The only thing that really can go wrong with a heater core is it leaks, thus the wet spot.

A couple months ago I had water draining onto the pasenger compartment floor below the blower motor. Recently the blower motor stopped working? Do you know what parts I may need?

the water leaking issue may have cause the blower operation issue. there is a drain for the a/c housing that comes out at the bottom side of the firewall on the passenger side of the vehicle under the hood that likes to clog up and build water in the housing. the water then runs into the blower motor causing corrosion in the motor and usually the connector at the blower melts as well. the blower is easy to change, the connector is not as easy but shouldn't be too bad. the blower can be found just under the glove box and has a 2 wire connector

How did I get water in my 2001 Ford Taurus heater blower?

Hello, it sounds like your heater core has busted and leaking inside the car. The water in your blower may be coming from the heater care also. to be sure you can get a ethyl glycol(antifreeze) tester . Thank you

A/c leaks back into front passenger side

Check the freon level in the A.C. unit, that's condensation, also you will want to replace the cabin air filter, and clean the drain plug at the bottom of the temperature control unit(big box where the evaporator, heater core, and blower motor are at).
