Hello,

It sounds like the rear blower motor or relay has gone out. Here are some guides and diagrams so you can do some simple tests and get the problem fixed.

Here are some guides to show you where the blower and relay is (below)

Please run some tests and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

You can start where you should have started before buying a blower motor. That is to test for both power and ground arriving at the motor to determine where to go next.

My blowers in the rear of the van are not working. The front heat and AC works fine but the rear will not work. What could it be?

It could be any number of things like fuses, motor, switch, resister, wiring or relay. The first step is to access the motor and test for power and ground arriving at the motor to determine which one, if any is missing and that will determine what direction to go from there.

Where is the rear blower motor located on a 2005 buick terraza and how do you access it. I've looked online but can't find any diagrams or videos. I know where the front blower motor is but not the rear.

It's behind the trim panel on the left side of the rear luggage area.

What is the replacement part number for the wiring on the rear blower motor for a 2005 Buick Terraza. The wiring is shorting out but I cannot find replacement wiring harness.

That's something you would take up with the dealer if they even make a replacement. That's not something we would know.

I really have doubts that is your problem though. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
