THE BLOWER MOTOR CAPACITOR

The blower motor capacitor is located below
the air duct at the indicated location. It is in
use any time the blower (vent) motor is oper-

ating. The capacitor helps to maintain a con-
stant voltage to the blower motor so that it
runs more efficiently.

TESTING

1. Set the ohmmeter to the

R x 10K

scale.

2. Measure across the capacitor terminals.

The ohmmeter should indicate several
ohms, then gradually return to infinity.
