Q: Newly replaced HVAC blower motor No Heat before and No Heat after callibration procedure.

asked by on September 24, 2016

Is it possible that I messed up on the proper position of the blender door (louvre) when installing the new blower motor? What is the proper factory set position of this vent or louvre door? I followed these calibration steps: 1) I placed the ignition key to the 2nd position "ON" without starting the car./ 2.) I held down the Power button and the Recirculation button at the same time for at least 5 seconds or until their lights started flashing. / 3.) I waited at least 2 minutes while the system seemed actively calibrating itself, however the Recirculation light never stopped flashing. (At least 3 minutes had passed). Are there any electrical fuses or relays that might be affecting Heat? I have verified that both in flow and out flow hoses are hot for the Heater Core! Please Help! Thank you, Ed
