Default rear a/c questions on a 98 Grand Caravan SE AWD

The manual I bought at autozone does not even show anything about the rear a/c system and my rear blower motor will not come on but my front works fine.

Does the rear a/c system just have a blower motor or thats it or does it have more parts to it?

Since my rear blower wont come on is it just bad or could it be something else?

thanks, jason

those generic books are horrible. you really need to get an actual FSM (ebay is a great source).

there are 2 switches that control the rear heater blower. check for power at the blower motor. if you are getting power maybe it's a bad motor

it would be best to get a real service manual.

there's a blend air door, evaporator, heater core, blower motor, and much more parts in the rear ac system. I had a rear heating system that wasn't working properly. it was such a PITA to try an fix, I just didn't bother to fix it. after all most of these vans' don't have that option so to me my time to screw with it wasn't of value. (I could rebuild a transmission for less time and make much more profit)

the rear hvac housing is behind the right quarter trim panel.



Here is an electrical diagram of the rear blower motor. Should be pretty easy to track down the problem.

cool FSM. you should load all the books as a sticky, that'll solve a lot of problems.
