blower motor on 1985 Ford Tempo

[Bigpineguy Retired]

I just picked up this car for $200 , runs great , looks good, just something to drive to work, the A/C works ( at least the compressor kicks on ), but the blower won't come on, I have checked the fuse and replaced it to be certain, I am certain that it will be a "process of elimination" but wanted to get some ideas from anyone here that may know what's best to check/replace first...last resort will be taking it to a shop to have fixed, but if I can do something cheaper by doing it myself, that's the route I would rather go...Thanks..

BPG~Your first step is take a circuit tester 12V (if you have) and place the clip on any ground chasis metal and test both wires in a blower. If found one with power and the other not; you need replace the blower. If you find power in both wires the problem is the ground (to make ground look for black wire or black line in the middle of wire) (don't worry if you make ground to the wrong wire just loss a fuse). Other way if the blower have power and ground hit the motor end with something. If begin to run, you need replace too because meaning have internal problems with the brushes or end rotor caps. I'm technician but my english is not good. Just I try to explain to help you. I hope can be.
