Hi,

When i was changing my cabin air filter, everything went well. I took the glove compartment apart & installed it back in.

Then, after my first try at turning on my a/c, i experience a burning smell directly out of my glove compartment, hear loud noises, & within 10 seconds my fan stopped working.

Now this was not just the a/c, im talking about any air whether cold, hot, neutral.

I was quite appalled so i tried to see what was wrong. I opened up the circuit board area where the blower motor resistor is (i believe) & took a look at it. Noticed that a metal screw was stuck in there & was on top of a couple of electrical components (****)

I removed this screw, put the blower motor resistor & connector back, & tried it again; still no luck.

I assume that when i changed the filter, SOMEHOW the screw fell in, causing damage to the circuit board for the blower motor?

Now I have been doing extensive research, & people have stated that in a situation like this, quite possibly the relay is the issue.

Now i tried to see what it would cost to change that complete blower motor circuit board as i feel the screw must have damaged some of the components; no luckk

Can someone tell me what they think is best in this situation? Please & Thank you, I am very upset with this!!

 

Did you check the fuses in all 3 fuse boxes?

 

I checked the fuses in the driver side near the dead pedal. Any other fuses i have to worry about?


One.morr thing to note, when i turn on the unit (with/without a/c) i definitrly.hear some.kind of.motor noise (assuming its the compressor)
