I just had this same problem - this morning - and could really use some help;

A/C quit, compressor runs, no fan action, brief smell of electrical burn.

After reading up in these forums, I dropped the interior panels, located the blower and cabin air filter. Inspected and cleaned the filter, which was in great shape at 3 yrs. Found a small amount of debris in the blower box, which had been causing that little ticking or rubbing noise many have experienced. By the way - the biggest culprits seem to be pine needles, and the little catkins (males flowers) from maple trees.

No evidence of burnt wiring, no burned debris.

So here are my questions;

I understand there is a resistor (both blower and resistor appear to be about $250 ea.!!) - where exactly can I find this resistor?

Can anyone advise on how to test both blower and resistor, to determine which is faulty?

Does the resistor, or blower fan, have a thermal overload built-in that will reset after some cooling down?

Is there also a relay which may be bad?

I should still be under warranty, but have not gone to the dealer yet...it's always unpleasant. I'd like to fully understand the problem and make checks myself before going.

Money for repairs is a serious, serious problem, so any DIY help here is more appreciated than I can say.

Thanks for helping out, and thanks for all the good info I've already found on this board. I really appreciate any guidance I can get.

Best Regards...TF
