Problem overview

Some Chevrolet HHR owners report experiencing electrical issues with the control knob due to water entering the blower motor area. This can lead to problems such as corrosion in electrical components like the resistor and fuse, resulting in malfunctions such as the blower motor seizing or the resistor burning out. When the blower motor is not functioning properly, owners may notice a lack of airflow from the air vents when the heater is turned on, indicating potential fan or blower motor issues. To resolve these problems, it is important to check for a faulty fuse that could interrupt the circuit and prevent the blower motor from operating correctly. Additionally, inspecting and repairing the wire connector to the resistor assembly, which may burn or melt due to increased resistance, can help restore normal blower motor speeds. Prompt attention to these issues is essential for the proper functioning of the vehicle's heating and cooling system.
