Do I have a seperate heater blower motor?

Recommended Posts

As I dig to find the issue with my heater I have come upon a question. My car was dealer equipped with a Clardy AC system and console. The blower is on the passenger side of the car and easily accessible. I have been using the blower knob on the console to move air.

I noticed I have a lever with Fan on it on the dash along with the heat temp lever

then it dawned on me...do I have a seperate heater blower motor? I ask this because I got my defrost flaps unstuck and they now open and close..but when I open them I still get no air through them. is this because I am using the ac blower when i should be using the heater blower?

Can I see from under the dash if I have a seperate heater blower motor?

Douse it with WD-40 and prod it with a screwdriver first. Repeatedly.

Cheers,

Behr (but not Frigiking) wiring is such that when the A/C blower is on, the heater blower wiring is disconnected by the A/C switch. Clardy experts out there...does the Clardy wiring do that too?

If so, that may be your problem.

The Clardy system is arguably a better system, and it doesn't overide the heater fan, it uses a separate switch. If the heater fan switch doesn't activate the heater fan, it's either a wiring issue or the heater fan is kaput.

Not such an ugly job, but intense, you need to remove the heater box.

Measure this to my 240Z where the heater core needs to be cut out of the box and you see why I say it's not that bad.

Just completed this repair in Nov. All I can say is remove everything you can under the dash to make removing/replacing the box more easy, suggest KY Jelly to make the cost of the new blower motor easier on you and just be done with it.

Cheers!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
