914 fresh air blower question, Fresh air blower not turning on Options

[iwuzazombie]

Hello! Now i know there are a lot of posts on this topic. I have been reading through many of them which have helped me through quite a lot troubleshooting this.

I just want to confirm something. The blower isn’t operating. I have checked and found there is power at the plug (upper passenger side pole connector). I have cleaned the contacts on the control levers at the heater controls in the cabin including its grounds.

I understand pulling that thing out is a huge PITA. What else should i check? And is it enough to check that there is power on that plug? I also did attempt to apply direct 12v to that upper passenger side pole but it still did not come on.

Just want to make sure i am trying everything before i dig into what seems to be a huge PITA pulling that thing out.

Thanks in advance!

when did it work last?? if there is power and ground , id assume here the fan motor is toast. you can buy a new one , complete new motor and fan, then get the 914rubber rebuild kit. yes you have to pull the fuel tank to get that out ist a bit of a pain but worth it .
- i will say that mine for years only worked on one speed and any other setting it blew the fuse, turned out the Previous idiot owner had cracked the plug and just put the wirese on the connectors but on the wrong order so one circuit worked but would short out. now with a new fan and cleaned u p grounds and controls its better than new.
