Angry AC Fan crapped out on me

Well, I sure had a good run of it! Almost six months without something breaking or wearing out on my car.

Today on the way home from a breafast meeting, the AC fan quit blowing. Turning the AC button on and off does kick start the compressor, and everything lights up on the Ac controls, but the fan won't come on no matter what I try.

I swapped the 7.5 amp fuse out for a new one just in case and it still does not blow.

Has this happened to any of you? If so, what was the remedy? New fan motor?

Just a wild stab in the dark because I just learned this, could be a blown fan resister. I didn't know the a/c fan had two speeds, my mechanic informed me that the low speed was not working because of a blown series resister, which he replaced. He said it is behind the front bumper somewhere, it was about 5 inches long and about .75" in diameter with two wires coming out of one end.

Well sorry that I can't help. I hope it will be a quick fix for you. Man I know you need it as it has to be as hot there as it is here!

Kabel, this isn't my AC's radiator fan, it's the interior AC fan that blows cold air on the passengers. But thanks for your advice anyway!

Randall, aren't you a Man of God! Can't you just smack your hands together, and then rub them real hard together back & forth, and then touch the Boxster's dash, yelling "HEAL" at the top of your lungs?

Then he'll have red hands, a sore throat and a broken air conditioner fan.
