AC Fan Motor

[nstone63]

So my air con fan just died.. filled the car with smoke out of the centre AC vents and demister vents...

Gotta shoot to the wreckers tomorrow morning, has anyone replaced one before? Apparently it's a bitch to do? Any help or advice would be great (photos would be amazing). It really sucks because we're having these summer storms, so not having a demister is just pushing it at the moment.

Wish me luck lol

I nearly had to do this because mine stopped working - then started working again haha.

Remember reading in the repair manual that the heater core may have to come out to access the fan.

Not 100% sure but when I remember reading the procedure I thought fark that.

fark that.

That's what my old man said haha..

Nearly died driving the 500m back to work.. ended up driving with my head stuck out the window just so I could see haha

I've got the gregorys book at home, I'll have a read then about it.. unless anyone else has some pics of it?

So after two days of pulling shit apart, it was the foam sealing tape around the fan motor. It (being old) had degraded enough for the heat from the motor to start melting it. Lol what a pathetic problem..

On the plus side, I drained about 3L of water from the air con system, now I don't get soaked feet and carpets when I turn corners or brake
