Chevrolet Tahoe Blower Motors
The climate system and blower motor are important components in your Chevrolet Tahoe to ensure the comfort of the driver and the passengers. Regardless of the type of system, a blower motor is required to keep the air circulating and comfortable. The fan on the console controls the speed of the blower.
What is the function of Chevy Tahoe blower motors?The Chevrolet blower motor is part of the heating and cooling system. It operates the blower and pushes hot or cold air into the interior of the SUV for passenger comfort. A well-running blower motor keeps the interior at a comfortable level without a strain on the system.
How does a Chevy Tahoe blower work?The Chevrolet Tahoe blowers use either air from the outside or from the inside of the vehicle to heat or cool the interior. The blower pushes the air over the heating coil or air conditioning evaporator. The blower control determines the strength and amount of air pushed through the system.
What controls the force of the blower motor?The blower motor resistor controls the speed of the blower. The resistor is connected to the digital or manual control within the vehicle cabin. The digital control has a target temperature that the system works to maintain. The manual fan control determines the speed of the blower and is not dependent on the target temperature. In both cases, a fully functioning resistor and blower motor pairing keeps the climate control system operating at the specifications set by the control.
When should you replace your Chevrolet blower motors?The blower motor resistor controls blower motors in your Chevrolet Tahoe. In most cases, a problem with the resistor or blower might be the reason a heating and air conditioning unit is not working. In order to check the motor, complete the following steps.
- Turn on the vehicle.
- Turn on the climate control system of the Chevrolet.
- Check the power of the motor at the two-wire connector.
- If there is power, the motor needs to be replaced.
- If there is no power, the resistor may be the issue.
The blower motor switch is an electrical on and off switch for the motor. It is activated when the fan or temperature control indicates that the climate control system is on. When the desired temperature is reached, the manual or electronic control will deactivate the motor through the blower motor switch.
