Control System Outputs - Manual Climate Control
Blower Motor Resistor
The blower motor resistor has the following features:
- The assembly is located in the engine compartment on the evaporator housing toward the center of the vehicle
- Three resistor elements are mounted on the resistor board to provide 4 blower motor speeds
- Depending on the blower motor switch position, series resistance is added or bypassed in the blower motor circuit to decrease or increase blower motor speed
- A device to prevent overheating (thermal limiter) will open the resistor coil when the temperature reaches 121°C (250°F) interrupting the blower motor operation in all speeds except HI
- The thermal limiter cannot be reset and is not serviceable
Temperature Blend Door Actuator
The temperature blend door actuator is located on the top of the plenum housing.
- Its function is to move the temperature blend door to the position indicated on the temperature control switch.
- The temperature blend door actuator contains a reversible electric motor.
Vacuum Control Motors
Vacuum control motors are used to move the floor/panel, panel/defrost and air inlet mode doors.
