AC Blower Motor

2004 Suzuki XL7
104k miles

I was driving down the highway and all of the sudden the ac stopped blowing. I checked the fuses, even replaced it and everything is fine there. I then found another blower motor at a salvage yard, tried replacing it and still no luck. I need some help about what it could be. When I turn the a/c on the motor and compressor kicks on very quickly but then shuts off. It's 95degrees here with what seems 100% humidity in Houston. Any help would really be appreciated...

Are you sure there isn't a circuit breaker for the motor? A lot of vehicles comes with circuit breakers these days and they're not easy to spot.

not sure of anything to be honest with you but would it be the a circuit breaker if the thing turns on for a sec but then shuts off? I'm no expert so I could just be talking out of ignorance but it would seem it wouldn't come on at all?

Any idea where it's at?

Unless it's a self resetting circuit breaker it wouldn't do what you say.

You've got the full climate control in your model? I haven't got the schematics for that system, only for the earlier model with the four speed fan. That shows a 30 Amp fuse for the blower motor. There's also a relay shown which supplies power - so that would be worth investigating.
