Symptom Diagnostic procedure Also check for
Blower motor runs, but one or more speeds are inoperative Blower motor circuit troubleshooting (see BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING )
  • Faulty blower resistor
  • Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
Blower motor does not run at all Blower motor circuit troubleshooting (see BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING )
  • Blown fuse No. 5 (40 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 10 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Poor ground (G402, G403) (see GROUND TO COMPONENTS INDEX )
  • Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
Blower motor runs with the fan switch off Blower motor circuit troubleshooting (see BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ) Short in blower motor ground circuit
The A/C condenser fan does not run at all (but radiator fan runs with the A/C on) A/C CONDENSER FAN CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 
  • Blown fuse No. 11 (30 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box
  • Poor ground at G301 (see GROUND TO COMPONENTS INDEX )
  • Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
Both fans do not run with the A/C on (but the A/C compressor runs with the A/C on) RADIATOR AND A/C CONDENSER FAN COMMON CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 
  • Blown fuse No. 10 (30 A) and No. 11 (30 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 10 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Poor ground at G301 (see GROUND TO COMPONENTS INDEX )
  • Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
The A/C compressor clutch does not engage (but both fans run with the A/C on) A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING  Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
A/C system does not come on (both fans and the A/C compressor do not work); heater is OK A/C PRESSURE SWITCH CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 
  • Blown fuse No. 11 (30 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 10 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
Insufficient heating
  1. Check the coolant level (see COOLANT CHECK )
  2. Check the radiator cap (see RADIATOR CAP TEST )
  3. Check the operation of the air mix control cable and door (see AIR MIX CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT )
  4. Check the coolant temperature
  5. Check the blower motor unit for obstructions
  6. Check for air leaks around the ducts and vents
  7. Check the inlet hose temperature
    • If it is COLD, check for restrictions in the hose, a damaged or leaking thermostat, and a damaged or leaking water pump.
    • If it is HOT, check for restrictions in the heater core. Back flush the heater core using standard commercially available equipment, or replace the heater core.
