96 E300 cabin fan blowing at only 50%. Advice?
96 E300 cabin fan blowing at only 50%. Advice?
Everything seems to work fine except that the fan only blows at about 50%. Is there any way to tell if it is the fan motor or something else like a regulator? |

Replace the fan resistor. It's a common failure point on early 210s

The guy in the video used the w140 conversion. I used a Chinese knockoff of the normal 210 resistor off eBay, it was about $20 and it's plug and play. Still works find 2 years later.

Do you think I can give this unit a couple of taps to see if it works for trouble shooting purposes? |

I'm seeing the part he recommends on amazon for $25. Nothing more expensive.
Is there any reason not to get one of these? Since they are so easy to get access? |

Just a follow up.
This is funny.
My options are amazon Chinese cheapo for $25. Behr from pelicanparts.com for about $91- $96. Napa for $325 Or advanced auto Duralast for $718.99 I'm so broke right now, I think I need to go el cheapo. |

I went with the option of buying a good, used updated fan/resistor off ebay. I think it was like $85 IIRC.

The eBay one I linked is $20. Buy it from whatever seller has the best feedback or return policy.

I bought that regulator.
I bought that regulator.
I pulled the air filters and washed them. they should be dry by the time I get the part. But they were definitely clogged up because without them the blower is actually decent. Its hard to believe the repair shops charge up to $1000 to replace that fan and several hundred to replace the filters when it took me 10 minutes to get to them. But then again, its not hard to imagine. |

I just got the regulator in the mail.
It has no thermal paste. I have a tube of it from when I changed the CPU on my computer. I will use that. |
