Does not seem to be the fuse, although I would be obliged if someone would confirm which is the correct one! The motor had sounded a bit noisy up to now, clicking a bit like an electric fuel pump but this went away if you changed the fan speed.
Is the blower motor somewhere accessable?  |
Hi,
Sounds as if the Fan/Blower is
Kaput from what you describe, unusual, but not impossible. Be sure to check fuses D-6 and E-7. It is also possible that some debris got into the system and is jamming the Squirrel Cage (Fan), but again, with the Cabin Filter - unlikely.
Replacement motors (PN# 996.572.903.00) are available, but spendy (list is $370). Replacement isn't too bad, much better than some Blower Motors I've had to deal with. Before replacing the Blower, I'd remove it to a bench and using jumper wires wire it to a 12V source to make sure that it doesn't work (before spending $370 needlessly).
I can send you the R&R procedure if you PM me with your email addy as you can't make attachments to PMs. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
PS - As mentioned, be sure to check the ignition switch, all sorts of Gremlins come out when it's acting up -
Good Call!
