1967 Chevelle heater blower motor will not work with power going to it
I have power going to the switch from the fuse box
I have power going to the wire that connects to the blower motor inside the fenderwall.
BUT IT WONT SPIN THE MOTOR
The motor is good I jumped over to the battery and the motor spins with no drag and no problem.

What am I missing?????

Maybe a bad ground. Did you jump the ground wire from the battery as well ?

No Just the pos from the battery to the tab on the blower motor. Crazy I don't understand it!

Thanks

Thanks:confused: me too
Stick a test light into the rubber connector that pushes on the terminal, maybe just it's a bad connection.

OK Just got back from the garage check the wire with a volt meter 12.53 Then I ran a jumper between the wire and the terminal on the motor. Still didn't work so I added a ground wire (nothing) Help!!!!!!!!

Check the voltage on that wire with the motor on. I bet you will find that it drops very low. If so, then you have a high resistance connection. A common place would be at the fuse clips, but it could be elsewhere also.

Just because the voltmeter shows full voltage on the wire (without a load)doesn't always mean that there is enough power to run a item. You need to check voltage with a load on it.

What speed do you have the fan switch on?
I suspect you have bad fan speed resistors or a bad switch.
