My husband has a Toyota 4-Runner '92, v'6, over 100K miles. I've been trying to get a few things fixed for him before he returns from Iraq. One thing I've recently replaced was the blower motor for the ac/heat and it's still not working. They told me they checked the fuses, switch, etc. There is power to the switch and to the blower but somewhere between the two there is nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks..

What's in between the switch and blower motor is the blower resistor-

When I went to Autozone that's what they told me and we called the mechanic and he said that checked out fine too. Is there something else that could be disconnected?

Toyota 4runner, 98 limited, 4wheel drive, 103k miles, V6. I just got back from vaca yesterday, I drove a long distance with my 4runner, with the ac on the whole time. When I got home yesterday I went to shut my ac off and I could still hear the fan going. I have my ac/heater off as we speak but as the rig runs it continues to blow air. What should I do

Tell the mechanic to test the intergration relay and heater relay it has to go thru it before it gets to the blower and ac switch.

Suggested Repair

Have the mechanic test the integration relay and heater relay. Power must pass through those relays before it reaches the blower and AC switch. The blower resistor was already reported as checking out.

Conversation Summary

A 1992 Toyota 4Runner V6 still has no blower operation after the blower motor was replaced. Power is present at the switch and blower, but not between them. The blower resistor was suggested and later reported as fine. The expert then advised testing the integration relay and heater relay, which the circuit must pass through before the blower and AC switch. A separate 1998 4Runner fan-stays-on complaint was not addressed.
