Blower motor acting up

[kia_cosa]

its a 2017 by the way and its being doing too much recently, either not turning on at all or intermittently working, sometimes, it only blows on certain settings, or the airflow seems a bit weak. I'm trying to figure out if it's the motor itself, a wiring issue, or something with the fuses, thoughts?, experiences and what nots will be duly appreciated

Common signs of a bad blower motor resistor are weak airflow and the fan only working on certain settings. It's also a good idea to check if someone leaned on or pulled the harness under the dash, it might be loose. I'd suggest checking the resistor and connections first before looking into bigger problems.

If you were working near the accelerator and removed the brake pedal, you just might have accidentally leaned on or disturbed the wiring harness or connector.

I think it's the blower motor or the resistor pack. Just those two. I'm not sure if it's a possible to be a loose wire, because HVAC systems are just confusing to be honest and this problem persists more lately. Global warming? Just kidding. Try checking the fuses then swap the resistor if that doesn't work.

I've also seen bad connections or the motor itself just wearing out

Haha, global warming, gotta love it! But seriously, I'd agree with you there. The blower motor resistor often causes those annoying issues like fluctuating fan speeds or weak airflow. Start by checking the fuse quickly, and if that's not the problem, then it's time to swap out the resistor. Have you noticed if the issue gets worse in colder weather or does it seem totally random?

Hey just checking if you were able to resolve this issue? I'd like to know if my comment was any help so I could do the same for a friend having this dilemma right now.
