Help 2000 camry ac fan doesn't work replacing blower resistor wasn't problem
Hi,
I'm not very knowledgable with cars, but am pretty handy when given instructions.
My sister's 2000 camry LE ac fan doesnt blow at any level, but on the freeway, a gentle but very cold breeze will come out the vents. I presume this is just residual air flow being at high speed and ac is working.
I read the forums and thought that the blower resistor was the problem and I removed it and replaced it. I do notice that others who had resistor problems still had fan use at some level, though. My resistor did have the same corrosion at contacts like other photos, so I thought that it was an easy fix. Now I am reading that prolonged delay of replacing the resistor might ruin the blower itself. My sister being the useless idiot she is gives no help in how long this problem has occurred, if it was a gradual loss of fan power, was is sudden, etc. she's been driving around in the heat for who knows how long. I only knew of the problem when riding in her car for the first time in years. Thought I'd help out, but now frustrated that it's harder than I thought.
I've tried to locate a fuse or relay but do not see anything other than the 10 amp fuse under the hood. I've found 3 fuse boxes under the hood (small one by the passenger light, small one by driver light, and large one by battery, drivers side) don't see any other boxes, none inside the car.
It doesn't look like there is a a/c cabin filter to replace in this model. Should my next step be to remove the blower? I'll need to borrow the torx tools, but neither I or sister have lots of money to bring to a mechanic.
thanks for any help and sorry for the long post, hopefully it will help others who like me are not that mechanical or knowledgable at troubleshooting.
