1988 Blower Motor Troubleshooting
Hey,
After one hour of highway driving the blower motor simply stopped today. Was blowing cold air and, since I hadn't switched the fan speed, I'm assuming that it is the blower motor (not fan switch). Will not blow any air -hot, defrost, a/c.
Just found this post http://www.hondacarforum.com/acura/3...wer-motor.html suggesting that the blower motor resistor is more likely to fail than motor. Can't find resistor in shop manual (Haynes) or any other sources. Here is a photo of a bm resistor for '88 integra http://info.rockauto.com/getimage/ge...U-450_FULL.jpg. Anyone know where this is located?
Based on my limited knowledge, I suppose the correct action would be to replace the bm resistor then if that doesn't work replace the blower motor. Any other ideas?
Thanks.

You were right, Fuse. Although instead of testing blower, ended up buying another blower motor but it didn't work either. Turns out, fuse no 14 (10 amp) labled "rear window defroster" serves double duty as a blower motor fuse.
