Its located under the dash behind the glove box sounds like your guessing its bad since you dont know where it is.

You shouldnt have to remove the glove its under the das behind the glove you just look up under the dash behind the box and there might be a close out panel to remove but not the glove box.

The heater/ac blower does not work on my 2000 malibu. Several months ago I replaced the resistor because it only work on the higher speeds. Now the blower does not work at all. Ivve checked the fuse and that is not the problem. Do I need to repalce the blower and how do I do that?

Thanks
John

Welcome, I'd check for voltage and ground at the blower motor connector, with the hvac control turned on. If that checks out, motor.

Ok a few months ago a piece of my ventilation came off and lodged itself in my Heat/AC blower motor(the fan). So I removed it but now my fan will not turn on at all. No heat and no air conditioning no matter what I set it to. I have replaced the fan itself as well as the BWD HVAC Blower Motor Resistor. And still the fan will not turn on at all. As I change the settings to blow through the various vents I can hear the motor change positions but still no fan. Any clue what I am missing? I checked the fuses as well.

So you can hear the fan spinning blowing air and ramping up in speed but no airflow out of the vents?Also do you have auto climate control or manual ac?

No the fan is not moving at all or on any speed or setting. I'm guessing I have auto climate control.

I really need to know if you have auto climate control or not?Do you dial in the temp number you want or do you blend the temp with your temp control?

Well. OK like I said before I'm guessing its auto. But I have a knob on the left side of my panel for the fan that I can turn down for auto(it says auto) or I can turn it clockwise to turn it on the more right the faster the fan spins. Nothing happens when I turn the dial or if I put it on auto.

Chances are either the fan relay or the blower motor resister is bad. The relay is under the hood and I believe the resister is near the blower motor under the dash. You could easily replace them yourself. When you get the parts, have the parts store print out a schematic for you so you can locate them. It is really not much more of a project than unplugging one and replacing it with the new. THe resister may be tougher to get at, but the same with it.

Is there a screen in between the two knobs with a up and down button to change the temp bellow the screen?

Do you have a test light to do some testing?Or better yet a multi meter?You will really need a multi meter to do some testing. You have a auto climate control by the way.

Unplug the blower motor the Turn the blower fan to the highest fan setting then see if the test light lights up bright across the two terminals at the blower motor connector. Next steps will need the multi meter.
