Just got done with a bunch of work on my runner. Dropped the diff, had the pan off, finished with a timing belt. Took it for a test drive and it ran great. I parked in the driveway and left it running with the a/c on. Ran in to get my wallet. Went back out and the blower motor isn't working at all. No a/c, no heat, etc. Checked the fuses under the dash and under the hood.

Any ideas? Whats my next move?
Thanks-
Steve

Blower fan/motor resistor.

Just had to replace my resistor, not cheap. The Toyota price was actually cheaper than the NAPA price, since they hosed me for shipping.

If its the resistor, would all of the speeds not work, or just some of them? Mine doesn't work at all.
How much was the resistor?

Are there any other fuses I should check? Or a relay?
When I look at the schematicsis in the FSM, it looks like when the switch is on high, it bypasses the resistor all together.
I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I can't imagine its the switch itself. I've had to replaced two switches in the past, but it was always because the medium setting did't work, low and high worked fine.
This time I got nothing.

See if you are getting power to the fan motor connector. On high, should be the switch only, resistor is bypassed. Relay and fuse for fan are under the dash, passenger side in the center.

Fixed it! There was a 40a breaker under the dash by the blower motor. It was tripped. There is a little hole in the top of it. Pushed a paperclip in there, reset it, and booyah! Blower motor works!

Thanks for the tips-

Any familiarity with newer than '95's. I have a 99 taco an the blower has stopped. Not suddenly though. over the last year it would be fickle and sometimes run without hesitation. other times it would only run after a while of driving, and usuallu always after up to speed on the freeway, like it needed airflow to jump it. now it is just dead.

However, the motor runs with direct current. the resister tested good and now back testing the control center. I seem to have found a lack of continuity in the A/C switch ON posistion, though dont know why that would keep it from runing if the A/C wasnt even on???
Am I on the right track? going in for the blower speed switch continutuy test, its deep in there. Or could it still be the motor and it only was turning do to the direct current amps??
