Air Blower Problem

Hi guys I just started having a problem with my air blower. Some times It will not work at all weather on A/C or heat. And I find that it happens when i leave it on and turn the truck off. But once I pull the fuse and put it back in it work fine again. I have no idea what is going on

I think there was another thread on a similar problem awhile back, can't remember the particulars though. Someone who might will be along shortly.

Here's a good write-up on the replacement:

However, I would try replacing the blower motor resistor first...it's $8-$25 for the part (depending on what you buy), and it's only two screws. My guess is it simply needs to be replaced.

But overall, the blower doesn't take long to take out and replace.

Thanks this is just what I was looking for And i think I will start with the resistor first seeing it is the cheapest.
