Ticking climate blower fan - ANNOYING!

[centaurus3200]

hi all,

haven't been in this section for quite some time. i guess that's a good thing!

well, i went to turn on the a/c yesterday, the blower fan now makes a constant ticking sound. sounds like the electric motor is about ready to die. is there a way to fix the motor? probably not.

anybody replace one of these things? pain in the butt or not that bad? part number? price?

thanks,
Robby

Robby,

There's a TSB that covers that. Unfortunately it's not a free fix.

it was still mid 50s, but it was getting kinda stuffy in the car. oh yeah, it's sunny and purdy in california! ;-)

come to the SF convention. you will love it! of course there aren't any jobs here and the cost of living is a joke. details, details ;-)

a fellow baysho member said a twig might have gotten stuck in the inlet.

terry, what's a TSB?

Technical Service Bulletin

97-25-5 DEC 97 Blower Motor - Chirping/Squeaking
ISSUE:
Some vehicles may exhibit a "squeaking" or "chirping" from the blower motor at low blower motor speeds. This may be caused by uneven brush friction on the commutator surface of the motor.

ACTION:
Replace the blower motor with a revised blower motor which has improved brush-to-commutator friction. Refer to the appropriate model/year Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
