What would cause the blower fan in my Acura TL to shut off randomly and then come back on randomly? Seems like it must be a bad electrical connection? If so, how would I find the faulty connection?

MASTER TECH :

Hello welcome to just answer I am master tech and will be able to assist you today.

MASTER TECH :

these had 3 common failures 1 been a bad blower motor sub harness and the 2nd is a bad power transistor. 3rd is a bad blower motor

MASTER TECH :

from the sounds of it the blower motor looks like it might be the issue here.

MASTER TECH :

cause this shuts off while driving and then comes back on and im guessing after hitting a bump in the road just enough to move the brushes

Customer :

What test should I perform to determine whether it is the blower motor? Transistor? Sub harness?

MASTER TECH :

well unplug the blower motor and look at the plug see if it's melted.

MASTER TECH :

this is what I would do run the blower motor and run it until it stop and then bang on the motor (under the glove box ) and it shoud come on if so replace the blower motor.

MASTER TECH :

I doubt the transistor is bad cause they don't stop and start again

MASTER TECH :

the blower motor will do that

I replaced the blower motor, and it's still not working. I checked the electrical connector to the blower motor with a voltmeter and it's getting just under 15 volts. What should it be getting? Any other ideas?
