But even when the A\/C isn&rsquo;t engaged and the system is set to heat, the blower&rsquo;s air always passes through the evaporator before passing through the heater core. It does this because, on defrost, the A\/C compressor will be engaged automatically so the evaporator can dehumidify the air before it ever reaches the windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/blower-motor-speed-diagram-1024x847.jpg\" alt=\"diagram of a blower motor speed\" class=\"wp-image-124371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/blower-motor-speed-diagram-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/blower-motor-speed-diagram-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/blower-motor-speed-diagram-768x635.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/blower-motor-speed-diagram-150x124.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/blower-motor-speed-diagram.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When you adjust your vehicle&rsquo;s A\/C, the blower motor speed changes according to your settings.

An inoperative relay or heater controls can also lead to HVAC airflow problems. It&rsquo;s best to bring your vehicle to a trusted auto repair shop so they can diagnose and repair any HVAC system issues unless you&rsquo;re a confident DIY person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blower Motor Replacement Breakdown and Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locating the Blower Motor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It will either be under the dash on the passenger side or accessible under the hood, but it&rsquo;s always on the passenger side of the vehicle, never on the driver side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vehicle Preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure the key is switched to the OFF position (you don&rsquo;t need to disconnect the battery to do this job).
