Default Tahoe rear blower problems

Hi Guys,

I have a 2003 Tahoe Z71. The rear blower has been smelling a bit lately and today it would not turn off, even with the ignition turned off. I had to pull a fuse to turn it off. With the vehicle running, the blower ran continuously at one speed no matter if I turn the switch on low or full blast. Would this be a problem with the blower itself or with a relay/switch in the back?

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

The smell might be due to a clogged evaporator drain.

Never had a switch smell bad unless it was burned up. JK.

The fan not working could be a switch problem or, as you said, a relay problem although the relay is usually only on the hi speed setting.
