Blower Motors for Honda Civic

Honda Civic Blower Motors

Keeping the climate comfortable in your Honda Civic vehicle when it is sweltering hot or frigid outside is a job that the heater and air conditioning accomplish with the help of the blower motor. If the blower stops running, neither the heater nor the A/C can control the temperature in the cabin. You can find Honda Civic blower motors to replace your old one in no time.

The blower motor forces air through a vent system in the Honda Civicu001as dash. Depending on the climate control settings, the forced air is routed through the heater coil to provide heat, or it is routed through the A/C to provide cool air throughout the car.

The blower motor is electric and can be rendered inoperable due to a few different electrical problems. The motor or fan blades can also fail mechanically. Below are common causes for the blower motor in your Honda Civic to stop working properly:

• Runs on one speed setting: When the blower turns on at one speed setting but not on others, this is caused by electrical faults in the relays that control it.
• Doesnu001at run at all: When the blower motor will not run on any setting, this can be caused by an interruption in its power supply. Or, it may have failed mechanically.
• Noisy: A mechanical problem can cause the fan to make ticking, squeaking, or grinding noises. It may continue to run like that for some time before the motor fails completely. In either case, the solution is to usually replace it.

When the blower in your Honda Civic doesnu001at run at all, it can be difficult to locate the exact cause electrically. The quickest way to determine if the motor is still good is to test it with a power supply. Follow these steps for your Honda auto:

• Take the blower out of your Honda Civic and place it on a workbench.
• Locate a 12-volt power supply and a couple of test wires with alligator clips.
• Connect the wires to the positive and negative posts on the power supply.
• Find the pins on the blower motoru001as electrical connector for its power and ground it.
• Touch the test wires to the appropriate pins.
• If the motor starts running, then itu001as still good. If not, it needs to be replaced.

The blower on your Honda Civic is found behind a black cover above the passenger seatu001as leg space. Pulling the panel is a simple task. The electrical relays that control the blower are found there too. The fuse is in the fuse box under the hood of the Civic.
