Fark...blower fan stuffed? VP

[MasterOfReality]

I have just about had it with my car.

About 18 months ago I got the aircon retrofitted with all new parts except for the heater core and evaporator. The reason why I left them is because I didn't want the dash pulled out. I ended up paying $1680 for the whole job.

A couple of months later, water started leaking out into the passenger seat footwell. Got quoted $900 to remove dash and fit heater core and evaporator. Told them to stick it.

Yesterday, I hopped in the car. It was an oven inside and when I turned on the climate control, the fan didn't come on. I jumped back out and checked the fuse in the engine bay, the fuse under the dash and the relay, they were all fine. I could hear the relay clicking & could hear the compressor turn on.

Drove home in a filthy mood and consulted the Haynes manual. Turns out that the dash has to come out to replace the blower motor, if that is whats faulty. Fark.

Tell me this isnt so?

Problem seems to have fixed itself, after I pressed the windscreen washer button!

I have a VX commodore and the other day the fan stopped working altogether, there is a clicking noise from the relay when i go from no. 3-4. AIR con still turns on, any ideas?

Try the blower fan resister, could be just a loose wire. I think its in the plenum chamber (i think thats what its called) in where the leaves always end up at the base of the windscreen.

I can't even remember creating this thread.

first point, disconnect the fan where it plugs into the loom near the radiator. Replace the fuse, and see if it blows.
If it does, the fan might be ok, but the problem lies else where.
if it doesn't blow, ur fan is stuffed
