I drive 2003 TL-S at 125000 miles. Owned for 4 years now and did not experience any major issue so far.

Yesterday I noticed blower dead. While driving for few minutes with A/C on but nothing happening, without doing anything, blower came on as normal functioning. It worked for few minutes and died again without touching anything.

From these symptoms, can you please advise what are the possiblities or areas of concern.

My hunch is possible electrical issue like AC relay or something like that.

Please advise.

 

Did some research and found probable cause.

I now need to check for issue and buy Blower Motor Subharness: P/N 04321-S0K-A00 when confirmed.

 

the wiring harness is very accessible right under the dash. Mine did the same thing. The wiring harness that connects to the blower motor was corroded and not making a good connection. I cleaned the connections and all is good. 130,000 here. 2003 Type S

 

the connector lead is too short and the wires can be pulled out or just crudded

acura dealer has an update kit with longer wires and new connector setup ~$20
easy diy

some have prob with the resistor for blower motor, located on mount for motor
remove its heat sink/cover and inspect

time for new cabin filters and shop vac anywhere you can reach!!

 

Do you know what the part number is?

 

if I knew the part number I would have posted it~ sorry
call one of our sponsoring dealers and talk with a human
tell them you want the blower motor connector update kit- and our 25-30% discount

 

I bought improved harness for blower 04321-S0K-A00 from Acura dealer for $8.

 

thanks for that number,,applies to all gen2?

I only knew it was under 20 bucks,,,8 is a bonus

did it fix the problem? resistor was not harmed?
installed new cabin filters etc?

 

The # was given in post #2 also...

 

I just recently changed to the the blower motor to a new one and switched the updated wire harness and swapped out the transistor and my ac is still weak.
can anyone chime in on this? possibility I might have to recharge the a/c system?

 

ac weak how?
does the passenger side radiator fan come on with ac on?
do BOTH fans run with ac on?
does the cabin air temp not drop down fast?
do you have control knobs or electronic ac controls?
