started with the same problem here, 08 chevy colorado fan stopped blowing on setting 3 and then the rest eventually stopped. had a burn mark on my resistor wiring harness just like yours. replaced that and it didn't fix it. took out the blower and tested it and it was fine. IT ENDED UP BEING A BAD CONNECTION IN THE WIRING HARNESS BEHIND THE GLOVEBOX. I couldn't get the harness open so I cut the brown wire on both sides of the harness and connected them with a wire nut and boom, its blowing like new! (wish I hadn't spent so long trying to get out that rear screw to take the blower out 😵💫)
You ain’t kidding about that rear screw. It’s no joke! I ended up not taking it out and plugged in some pig tails I had and used alligator clips to connect to the pig tails. The motor works. I believe I have the same problem as you man. I’m going to check the connector behind the glove box tomorrow. I checked all my grounds, (even the one under the air box) changed the resistor and burnt harness and still nothing. I will update tomorrow.
UPDATE: It was the connector behind the glove box. The brown wire (power wire) connector was burnt. I cut and spliced it together so there will no longer be an issue.
“Beep” with multimeter=Technical term is continuity. Best video I found on this issue! The Blower went on the colorado my family has. Wondering if it’s just the motor but this answered all my questions. Great work sir! And greatly appreciated because you did save me a lot of time!
Thanks for the video; I'm there and doing that. '08 Outlook, two weeks, still can't find the connection failure, but like you, changed the resistor and should have known that the high should be working. Tested head unit with voltage change on the grey black wire, fuses are ok, swapped relays, even pulled the under the hood fuse terminal looking for critter violations. All good. Wired blower to battery and its good. Rear blower works fine. Out of frustration, went by the friendly Chevy store, who confirmed pull the dash and chase the red black wire, that is to stay hot. Swapped resistor, blower wire and blower to my 2011 Sierra, work like it should. Man, I dont wanna take a dash apart.
Thank you for a very good video! I went through and checked everything..... Fuses, relays, replaced resistor & plug connector, checked for continuity, fan directly on 12V...... everything was fine Still no fan. Had 12V at the fan plug harness, but when I touched the plug to the fan motor the voltage dropped to 0.00V. Scratching my head.... Finally checked the passenger side grounding block, looked fine but there was a less than 100% connection. Opened up the grounding block, lightly brushed the connections, reassembled. And finally the fan worked as it should. Not the first time the grounding block caused intermittent / mystery problems.
Yeah when I first got that truck I had issues with that same grounding area. I took all the wires off and made a better ground terminal bolted to the side and never had issues with it again.

Thank you so much for taking time to post this. My fan was working on all three speeds except high. The orange wire going through that connector behind the glove box was bad. Many thanks.
Thx for explaining this. I too had a burned out connector at the third position on the resistor, and after replacing it I still had no blower. I had power going to the blower, so I concluded that the blower was bad, pulled the blower out to find a fried connector at the blower. The connector was melted in and very difficult to remove. I cleaned the male connectors on the blower and it worked. I really wonder why the fuse didn’t blow. Thx again for your help.
Your video helped me tonight, having the same problem but found out that I have lost the ground to the blower motor. Haven’t figured how I’m loosing my ground. Seems like I’m loosing it at the circuit board.
Thank you so much! For the past 6 months only 4 would work for me. And just two days ago i lost 4 too. So by my assumption (after learning from your video) I burnt up my wires and kept running it on 4 so the resistor blew. I knew it was a wiring thing, just had no clue where to start and I didn’t want to spend a week diagnosing.
Chedk where the ground wires are connected to the fender. They have paint behind the wire ground and has 4,5 wires connected to one spot. Clean the ground, and the blower resistor should work good,
you wer right, disconnected and put brown to brown and blower works great! only worry is that the wire on the blower side overheats. how can I keep that from happening?
Clean the ground with some sand paper on the passenger side too by the air filter box , is a small box works all the time when all 4 speed stop working
No. I’m only to Appliance Repair guy. Just decided to post this video because it was so frustrating and difficult to find. I wanted someone else to be able to figure out the problem easier than I did.
Mine don't work at all. I got juice to the blower motor I even took the blower out an check it works fine. I checked the resistor beside the blower motor not really burnt getting juice there. All my fuses are good my relays are good only other thing I can think of and I ordered is the heater control switch. Hope it works after this. This truck is driving me nuts . I got to speed on 1 through 4 .
I replaced my resistor and my fan on my 2005 Chevy now fan speeds one through four work fine but speed number five shuts the system completely off. Any clue what’s causing this?
I have a 2006 colorado 3.5 and 2 and 4 would work on the fan. Now none of them work and nothing blows out. I was thinking the blower motor went out but after watching this it might be something else. Any ideas ?
So you fixed the symptom. But what’s the cause? I’m so tired of changing resistors and fan motors on my Colorado, I’m not getting any younger. I have to do this almost once a year… 🤦🏻♂️
Was the plug damage at all because I’m having the same problem and I’ve done everything you’ve done except check connectivity so did you replace that wiring harness? What did you do?
I recently just replaced my resistor and wire harness 2 days ago and it worked perfect all the levels of the ac was working then 1 day later when I turn on the ac it only works on high like full blast and not the outher settings? Can anyone help me please
This happen to me as well. I saw burn resistor and speed 3 was going on and off. I replaced the resistor and work fine up until 7 years later. The all speeds turn off, few days later turn on again, then all speeds go off. I look at the resistor it's not burn. But have not did any testing yet. I should start with fan motor with out removing it.
It’s been a while since I made this video. Basically I’m starting at the fan fuse and working my way back to the fan one connection at a time until I find where the break is.
123 are out and on mine would that be same issue i thou g ht its was the consol itsself and replaced that and still same issue so now I'm out 60 bucks and time. 4 still works so its not like i have no air
I would first try replacing the speed control part that I talk about in the beginning. It’s a plug-in play. It will either work or it will not. Usually it does work. It worked on mine the first time it went out. After that I would do what I did in this video and try to track down a connection or ground problem. Good luck.
Hi, thanks for your efforts, I am also going on the 4th replacement of the resistor. Seeing this video I am convinced that the problem I'm having is the same. Did you just cut into a hot line,run a new wire or replace the entire wiring harness? Thanks for any help.
My blower sounded like it was running on only 4 so I changed resistor/harness. Sounds like it runs on all setting but no air coming out. Is this what you had?
@@MrPholding mine would not come on at all. At one point it did have the common resistor going out problem I believe four would work and three but not one and two. I replace the resistor and it started working. Mine would just not run at all even after replacing the resistor. It was a burnt up wire in the wiring harness.
Hey I’m having this exact problem and I’m just a little confused on what you did that fixed it if you could describe it for me I would really appreciate it
@@DWhitesWorld when I found the connector behind the glove box, I could see when I unplugged it, one wire was burned, and slightly melted. That plug connected a lot of wires together and there was only one bad burn wire, so I cut it off that plug and wired it together off the plug.
So once you figured it out what did you do to fix it? Did you swap that wire harness? Im having the same issue and i think this may be it. Im going to check it tomorrow
I cut the wire that was burned inside of the harness and just attach them together with a wire nut and solder. it was just one wire that was the issue so I left the rest of the harness alone.
When you take the fan off you can put power directly to it from the battery to double-check that it doesn't just come on. If it does just come on it's not the fan.
There is also a ground that usually gets bad contact by the intake box it has the word Delphi on it move it around it should turn on. The little black box is grounded to the fire wall
rob522 yes and I have fix that connection box before. When I first got this truck that was messing up all my tail lights. I can’t remember how I fixed it but I remember I over killed it.

Wish I could tell you it’s just been too long since I did this repair. I can’t remember. I will say the harness that was burned up was extremely stuck together because it had melted plastic together.
My chevy colorado blower motor just started working intermitenly. i checked the fan motor, wss fine, replaced the resister, was fine, of course fuse was fine. I may check the relay next. Is it possible thats working intermitenly, or do you think its still a wiring issue?
I replaced the resistor I replace the fan work for a little while and now I have to hit the fan motor to get it to start I carry a hammer on the floorboard and use the wooden handle of the hammer good hit the fan motor and it will run every time I shut the truck off The fan will not work until struck with a blow
@@weaverfever55 I ended up replacing the fan motor, after the resistor, and I havent had any trouble since. been working fine. I decided my fan motor had a bad spot in the winding somewhere.
I just replaced my resistor thinking that was it. Before it worked when it wanted to and would turn on when i hit a bump in the road so i replaced it. Now i get nothing. Harness to resistor looks good no burn marks. Ill have to check these fuses before i go buy a blower motor. 🤔
2018 trax I've replaced the wires to the resistor, the resistor and the blower motor. It worked on all 4 speeds properly for about 8 minutes then everything stopped I'm getting no air at all. Anyone have suggestions? Thank you
Maybe the blower motor has gone out. I took mine off originally thinking that was what was wrong and wire it directly on the battery. It came right on so I knew that was not it. Be sure to unplug all the harnesses that I showed and make sure there’s no burn marks.
Thanks, I have 2007/CANYON SL/ 4 CYL: just tying to fix : FAN shUts “OFF “ quickly @, “ speeds 3,4,generally;::: speeds 1,2 Work ….interestingly, thinking about it , seems like FAN speeds 1 & 2, , have gone Off , rarely last year or two,,,also….mildly irritating.. Anyways, real problem I have a :::: “ no *start, turns over perfect , no *check engine Light” come up occasionally:: seems to “ start “ peerfiectly after 10/60 minutes delay (?)……….
Turn over but no start on my 07 was a switch at the base of the ignition key assembly. You need to buy the assembly minus the key tumbler (cheaper), remove the switch from new unit. Now you can remove the clamshell cover at the base of steering column where it goes into the dash and get to the bad switch without removing the entire assembly.
@@aflatsnut thanks….still issue infrequent is a :: “crank/ No start” , a random occurrence (??). I Have not checked all grounds,etc…though always starts after 10.0 minutes.. oddly irritating ….
Mine was the same way. I would first try the resistor if that doesn’t work it probably is a wire harness melted somewhere. It’s hard to tell usually you have to unplug the harnesses to see if there’s a black burned up spot. Just go one of the time until you find it. It’s a pain.

Turn over but no start on my 07 was a switch at the base of the ignition key assembly. You need to buy the assembly minus the key tumbler (cheaper), remove the switch from new unit. Now you can remove the clamshell cover at the base of steering column where it goes into the dash and get to the bad switch without removing the entire assembly.
@@aflatsnut thanks….still issue infrequent is a :: “crank/ No start” , a random occurrence (??). I Have not checked all grounds,etc…though always starts after 10.0 minutes.. oddly irritating ….
None of mine will blow out
those resistors are so trash, the 3 one always burns out on every single canyon/colorado, the resistor in general is just horribly designed
mine will do none, not 1-4
Mine was the same way.
I would first try the resistor if that doesn’t work it probably is a wire harness melted somewhere. It’s hard to tell usually you have to unplug the harnesses to see if there’s a black burned up spot. Just go one of the time until you find it. It’s a pain.
05 Colorado. Problems all over the place. Kinda a piece of junk
