Ridgeline Blower Motor Failure

I've got a 2014 Honda Ridgeline with a gasoline engine, and my blower motor suddenly stopped working. The mileage is about 42248 km. I've read something about the AUC sensor, or cabin air sensor, causing similar issues? Could that be it?

A 2014 Honda Ridgeline experienced a blower motor failure, and the owner suspected the AUC sensor might be the cause. A suggestion was made to check the cable and plug connection of the HVAC sensor, as a similar issue had occurred in a different vehicle. The owner took the vehicle to a workshop, where a defective cable connection on the AUC sensor was identified and repaired, resolving the blower motor issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar problem with my old Saab, completely different car I know, but it turned out to be a faulty air conditioning sensor. The auto recirculation wasn't working properly, which affected the blower. Have you checked the cable and plug connection of the HVAC sensor?

Interesting! No, I haven't checked the cable or plug connection yet. Is that something I can easily access and check myself, or do I need special tools? Where exactly is that AUC sensor located in the Ridgeline?

On my Saab it was a bit tricky to get to, involved removing some trim panels. Given that it can affect the blower motor, and based on your description, it might be the same issue. However, since you're not sure where it is, I would suggest taking it to a workshop for a quick check. It could save you time and potential damage. The repair cost for mine was about 95€.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the shop, and you were right, it was a defective cable connection on the AUC sensor. They fixed it for 95€. Now the blower is working again!
