No Air Or Heat Comming Out Of Vents - 3/21/2007 11:07:02 AM    ajonline   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/21/2007 Status: offline I have a 1996 Cadillac Seville Sts and there is no heat or air comming out of my vents.  I called my local dealership and they want $600 to replace the fan blower.   How can I test this to make sure it is the fan blower?  Where are the fuses for the fan blower and can I test the fuse?  Is it easy to install the fan blower?  Any help would be greatly apperciated.  Thanks Adam Post #: 1

How do I test this out? Let me know. Thanks According to the '97 Owner's Manua,l there is only one fuse related to HVAC, and it's common for the CD Player, RKE, Controlled Power Relay(?), Air Control Module(ACM), and PZM. If it's the same for '96 (which I think it is), and any of these work, then it ain't a blown fuse. You said that there was no air coming out of the vents, but did the controls work? You definitely should hear the blower work even if the air diverter doors got stuck. If you don't hear the blower, it' s prolly dead or on the way out. Just to make sure, detach the wire going to the blower motor and spry some electonic contact cleaner into both ends and reseat it. If the motor is kaputt, follow thertruerebel's posting...

How do I find that door to make it send air out the ducts at me?  (in reply to ajonline) Post #: 6
