Blower Motor Problem

[seagoddessj]

:cries: My blower fan has suddenly decided to take a vacation & only run on low speed. One mechanic told me to replace the blower motor resistor ($27); another advised replacing the blower motor controller and panel controller ($1,000.00). I got disgusted with both of them & took the dash apart by myself. I've got the blower motor out, but can't find where the resistor is located. I'd rather replace that first, since it's the least expensive option. I'm trying to use Camry diagrams that I talked the Toyota mechanic out of - to no avail! I need help fast - it's over 80 here in Florida.....!!!

I just replaced the resistor for my 91ES250 & it was located near the rear of the glove box area. I repaced it because the low speed wasn't working. Maybe it's in the same area for your car?

run the diag for the hvac system in the general maintance section

I ran the diagnostic as you suggested. It first said "21", paused, & then it started to cycle through the numbers starting at 1, changing the hvac & intake settings as it progressed up to 8, at which time I shut it off. What in the heck was it doing? Was it OK to run the diagnostic with the fan motor out of it's housing??

Where can you find the Blower Fan Motor Resistor?

1997-2001 the blower controller is next the the gas pedal. Pull down the carpet and you'll see a connector next to the cabin filter door. You will have to unbolt the gas pedal from the firewall to remove the contoller out of the evaporater case.

Thanks for the help - I ordered the part and managed to get it in without unbolting the acc. pedal, although it was a royal pain! My neighbors got an earful as I was working on it.....Sure beats paying $1000 to Lexus mechanics.
