The blower motor switch allows you to control your A/C and heating systems to bring cold or hot air into the car’s cabin. If you find your HVAC system is behaving erratically or isn’t working at all, it may be time for a blower motor switch replacement.

It’s miserable to sit in a stuffy or freezing car—that’s why car insurance broker Jerry has compiled everything you need to know about a blower motor switch replacement.

The exact cost varies between different Scion models. For example, newer vehicle models are usually made with more expensive materials, so recent or high-end models will cost more, especially if your service requires a part replacement. Use the table below to estimate the cost for your own vehicle.

The blower motor switch allows you to control your vehicle’s HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system.

More specifically, the blower motor pushes hot or cold air from the air conditioner or heater core into the car’s cabin. The blower motor switch allows you to regulate this airflow. With the blower motor switch, you can turn the fan on and off and control its speed.

Without a working blower motor switch, you won’t be able to control your HVAC system the way you’re used to.

The blower motor switch is not inspected during regular maintenance service, so you’ll need to be on the lookout for signs it is time to get your blower motor switch replaced.

Before they break completely, most blower motor switches begin to act erratically. For example, if your airflow changes without you touching the switch or will only work in certain positions, it’s probably time to bring your car to the mechanic.

If you lose complete control of your HVAC, it’s time to replace the blower motor switch.

Not having access to your HVAC system is more dangerous than you think. Driving in extreme heat or extreme cold can affect your ability to operate a motor vehicle. Additionally, a working heating system is necessary to defrost your car’s windshield in cold weather.
