I got no movement when I put 12v to the wires and trying to spin the fan by hand is a challenge so, I think it’s dead.
Now what to do? I see pelican parts has a Bosch motor only, a Porsche fan+motor assembly, and a URO fan+assembly. What have you folks done for your heater blower rebuild and how has it worked out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I’ll say up front, I’m biased toward the Bosch motor for two reasons: 1.) It’s a Bosch 2.) I’m not excited about a plastic fan in the engine bay. Thanks, Van |

well that hasn't really worked on my car so far. I have to put my hand right on the vent to feel the heat. And that's only when I move the top slider mid-way. if I move it further over to turn on the frunk blower, it's totally cold outside air.
I appreciate the feedback and all, but I'm trying to fix the heater blower, not throw it away. |

I appreciate the feedback and all, but I'm trying to fix the heater blower, not throw it away. The top slider is only fresh air. All the way to the left is closed, all the way to the right is wide open and frunk blower on high. The amount of heat allowed into the cabin is control by the lever between the seats. Do you have that open all the way? If so, and you're still not getting a blast of hot air on downshifts, then there is something else going on. That blower you are so eager to have working is controlled by that lever. All the way up and the relay grounds, turning the blower on. In any other position the heater blower is idle. |
