A/C not blowing air. Blower motor resistor looks fine

    Hello,
    Here’s another A/C not blowing thread again but my situation feels a little bit different from the other threads after reading them. Here are my symptoms
    - A/C not blowing air at all. Hot or cold.
    -A/C doesn’t even blow on the highest setting
    -Checked the blower motor resister and it doesn’t looked burnt. I have a 2015 with 140K miles on it.
    -Checked the cabin air filter and cleaned it out. Still nothing
    -Checked the A/C 10 amp fuse and it’s not blown. Even changed it with a new one
    -Checked the A/C compressor clutch to see if it spins when I turn the A/C on. It does. So I didn’t change out the MG Clutch relay in the fuse box since it spins
    -The A/C lines are frosting over still when turned on and defrosting when turned off.

    Would a bad blower motor be the culprit? Any advice will be helpful. Thanks TW.

    Easy enough to check voltage at the blower and see what you got, if you have 12v there with the blower plugged in but no blower then your blower motor is toast.
    If not then you need to determine if your missing power or ground and go from there.

    Check the connector at the blower for power, or signs of melting.

    Whack the motor while its turned on.

    Good thump with your palm.

    If it turns on, its the motor.

    A 12V check is more scientific and takes 15 more seconds.

    thank you for all the suggestions. I will do these and report back for further analysis if necessary.

    Update: So I took the less scientific route last night when troubleshooting the blower motor by giving it a couple of thumps. My A/C turned on surprisingly and it works on all speeds on cold and hot. I unplugged the connector to the motor to see if it was burnt at all and it looks normal. I didn’t have the socket size to remove the motor and inspect further.
    So what would be my next steps to permanently fixing the problem? Funny enough the hottest heat wave of the summer is about to hit and my A/C is on the fritz.

    Change your blower motor, the tapping it to get it going will only work so many times before it doesn't.

    Thats the part # I got too when typing in your truck and model.
    I’d say that is the one you need:thumbsup:

    Check that you have the right socket, the bolts take a 5.5mm socket (7/32 may fit).
