01 honda civic blower motor not working! please help
hi i have a 01 honda civic and the blower motor recently all of a sudden stopped working on me, it does not work at all with the switch but when i jump the motor directly to a battery it works, i took the transistor out and did some tests i found on the internet and i did them all and it tests good, also i check the fuses, any one have un idea of what could be wrong or what tests i should do? thanks!!

99% of the time the blower power transistor is faulty.
You can take it out and apart and measure the thermal fuse inside it. If the fuse is open circuit, it's bad.
Measure the blower motor amperage draw, excess amps can blow it.
Replace the pair of cabin filters too, poor airflow makes the transistor overheat..
Or sometimes they just go because it's time to go.

Disconnect the power transistor.
Turn the ignition on.
Jumper the 2 fat wires in the connector (blue/black to black), the blower fan should run. Does it?

With the key ON: Is there B+ at the fan connector? (blue/white wire)

Grasp the blower relay case while someone else repeatedly turns fan switch on/off and you should feel an bump in relay when doing so.
