Hi all,
I have a 72 which does not have the nice U shaped blower motor mount in the engine compartment that the later years have. I'm operating under the impression that this bracket is the early stock mount for the motor assembly: However, since the ground is supposed to be intermittent (actuates when the red cockpit lever is pulled up all the way) I have the problem where, because the above pictured mount grounds the entire assembly, I'm always grounded causing the blower to start up as soon as I turn on the ignition. I've tested my ground/red lever as the actuator when the motor assembly is not mounted (thus not automatically grounded) and it works like its supposed to - lever goes up and the motor turns on. Is there a way to separate the actual motor from the assembly so that it is not grounded when mounted? Maybe the rubber piece in the first pic goes somewhere that I'm obviously missing? Is there another way to mount the motor assembly that I just don't know of?

I'm staying out of the turf wars b/c I like folks on both boards... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) |

On my lunch break - I did a couple tests. It turns out that I can't locate the wire going from the relay board to the heater motor. From the replies, I was able to determine that post 87 on the relay is the "switch" that turns on the positive juice to the motor. That switch is activated by the lever near the shifter in the cockpit.
Since I can't locate the proper wire coming out of the relay board, I wrapped wire around post 87 on the relay, put it back into the board, and connected the new wire to the heater blower motor positive wire. Now it works like it should. Pull the lever up, the relay activates, and the blower motor turns on. Now to figure a more eloquent way of running the wire from post 87... Mike & Spoke - I couldn't have done it without your posts. Digital High Five! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) -pt |
