Hi all. My daughter is about to go back to school. Her heat is no longer blowing and snow is here I checked the blower motor - 12v spins it fine, no binding whatsoever. I checked fuses (though not entirely sure I understand this diagram-any clarity is much appreciated). I also replaced the resistor - pretty sure the old one was fine though. Are there relays I need to look at? According to my google search, older Hyundais may have put them near the blower. I appreciate your help. Situation is tight.
Relay M17 appears to be wired just ahead of the blower motor connection:
Should be attached to the blower housing with a single mounting screw, behind the glove box. Possibly part number 95225-33200 (the Hyundai part catalogues don't show this relay as part of the blower motor assembly). If you're not getting power to terminal 1 of the blower motor connector, the power relay is the next component to check. --g
If I were checking this for the first time I would remove the blower motor relay and with the key on, blower hi speed selected, verify power to at least 2 terminals of the relay socket.
One would verify power is coming from the fusible link and the other would verify power is coming from the inst. panel junction box.
If I have power from the 2 terminal slots that the relay plugs into, that would tell me the relay is defective. if power was not available to both of those terminals , I would check the fuse AND the fusible link and see what I got there.
Yes, thank you all! It was the relay behind the glovebox. I could not get it off to find the part # so I had the shop do it - got out of there for just over $100. Could have been worse. My daughter was able to return to college with heat last Weds. Much appreciated all
@jb111 : Does the repair order/invoice show a PN for the relay your shop replaced. My hunch is that it's a standard Hyundai/Kia "power" relay, PN 95225-33200 (dealer list $54!). Glad it wasn't worse. --g
