No air from vents - CEG Archives

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

Had some snow tonight, so I was leaving a store and pulled the e-brake in a empty parking lot.

Continued out the parking lot and the ABS light came on and the air stopped blowing. I have a new resistor already installed last month.

It will not blow on any setting, high or low, A/C, Panel, Floor, etc.

HELP ME!

checked the fuse yet? my car was blowing the fuse, I took the blower out and bench tested it, must have run it backwards, put it back in and no issues since

Which fuse is it? I'm searching all these threads and finding out about like 5 different fuses and relays.

Found the problem. Fuse #3 under the hood.

Manual has a * next to 1-3 and says "Have these fuses replaced by your dealer".

Now what? It's freezing outside.

makes no sense unless it is something really special

I would say just replace it

Well I searched on here last night about replacing that fuse. The battery needs to be pulled and the 3 fuses are grouped together and held in with a screw(s).

I'm going to the dealer today after work and hopefully they have this fuse in stock otherwise I'm SOL.

I have replaced the fuse your talking about. Just disconnect the battery. There is a release catch on each end of the fuses. Lift the assembly remove the screws replace the fuse. Re-connect battery. I got my replacement at OReillys. Fairly cheap.

For the archives to help out others:

Replaced the fuse and everything worked great after. ABS light gone, blower working fine. No need at all to bring it to the dealer like the owners manual says.

Total Cost: $2.99 + tax
Estimated dealer cost: $75 labor + $4.00 fuse

This 60 amp fuse can be bought at AutoZone. Part number is PAL160BP . It is a straight male terminal connection. NOT female terminal or bent male terminal.

Here is pictures to compare other types of connectors:

Install is easy. About 15 mins .

Disconnect battery terminals. Open the fuse panel and push in the clip which holds fuses 1-3 together. They will slide out in a group. I removed relay R4 and R5 otherwise no way to fit tools in there to loosen one of the screws. Loosen both screws, slide old fuse out, slide new one in. Reinstall screws and make sure the screw goes through the wires on both sides otherwise, no ABS or blower motor. Insert removed relays back in and connect battery.
