I know I know - we all have the blower motor issues but heres where I'm at:

Bought this 2006 h3 used
A/c cut out 2 weeks later
Pulled the resistor - it was toasted
Pulled the harness - someone had tried to repair it previously and did a crap job
Replaced harness, resistor, and relay.
Blower blows now but air compressor does not kick in
Also, at the switch, 1 blows low, 2 cuts off, 3 & 4 blast warm air.
Checked the switch - no burn marks, I'd check the ohms but I don't know what values it should have.
Any pointers?

 

Have your fan clutch checked by a pro.

 

I pulled the hvac controls apart and found a burnt circuit on the board. looks like I'm out $200 for a new switch.

 

how bad is it? a good technician can fix burned traces.

post picture..

 

1st picture is what it's supposed to look like.

Second picture is after I put a blob of solder on it trying to see if it'd at least make a connection to blow air out of my dash vents instead of my defroster. You can't see the burned connection cause I covered it with solder and I'm away from my shop at the moment so I can't pull the solder off.

 

nothing looks terrible.
you can use a small wire to jump where it goes' i cant tell by pix and never had that board out.

id try hard b4 the big $$!!

 

What color is your H3?
