Refurbishing my non A/C heater box on my E body. I wanted to test the motor, so I did +2+ and -to- on the battery. Nothing. So I tried it with the new motor. Also nothing. What's up?


Grandma always said I had "hands of gold"!

It should spin even if you have the polarity reversed?

Correct! I did that too with both motors. Nothing! Does the casing have to be grounded?

The blower motor in my car has one power and one ground wire. I was just testing it today because I was diagnosing a squeaking noise in the motor. If I connect 12 volts to the ground and positive wires of the motor it spins. The motor case itself was not grounded. The motor would spin if I switch polarity too.
