Turn Left and Blower Turns ON!!!
I'm experiencing problems with the blower on my 2000 Saturn SL100. It
has been acting up and mysteriously kicks on when I turn left - then when I straighten out the wheel it stops again. This only works then the car is in motion. Turning the wheel while in park does not work. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and how I may fix it? |

Sorry. I'm new at this.
It doesn't matter what setting that it is on. When turning left, the blower will blow according to the setting on the control panel. Sometimes, it will continue working for 4-5 minutes and then go off again. When it goes off, I can hear a humming sound as if it is trying to run. Turn a left, and it kicks on again. This weekend, it completely quit. There was no sound and no air no matter what. Then today I got up and it was miraculously working again. |

Oops. . . when I say, "working again" I mean that it will run
intermittently if I turn left. |

The blower never works correctly. It either works when I turn left -
or it doesn't work at all. It is a crap shoot. It will work on 1, 2, and 3, in addition to 4. So it is not bypassing anything. I'm just bamboozled. It's like some connection is loose. I just don't know where to start looking. Also, if I turn left without giving it gas, it does nothing. If I give it gas when I make a left, it kicks in. Once I straighten out the wheel - it may or may not stay on. And if it does stay on, it will run for only a few minutes. |

My (possibly incorrect) understanding is that the OP is saying that the
blower really does not work most of the time at all, regardless of the fan position switch. But, occasionally, when they turn left the fan will start to blow at whatever speed the position switch is set, and then when the turn is completed it does not work again. My guess is a loose ground connection, or more possibly, an intermittent connection in the blower feed or ground wiring. Seems that this could easily be reproduced once you get access to the wiring and using a simple DVM or continuity tester you should be able to narrow down to a defective wiring segment or a loose connector. I personally do not think this sounds like a defective blower resistor block based on my understanding of the problem description.

I HAVE FINALLY BEEN UNDERSTOOD! I APLOGIZE IF MY THOUGHTS DID NOT FLOW SMOOTHLY. Bob is correct in his restatement of my problems. THANKS! So, I suppose I'll need to take this to the dealer for an auotopsy? Any home remedies out there? |
