I just put a new blower motor (behr with cage) in my 92 400E. The problem I had is that I put it in, and then tested it, and well, on high it would only spin up to about medium speed. I contacted a few sources and they said my blower control unit was bad (the heatsink and connectors under the hood, not the push button unit).

It may make sense because one night it was -8 here ( i live in NY) and I went to turn the heat on, and nothing happened. I pushed the high fan button and still nothing happened. Perhaps since the motor was "frozen", I wore out the fan resister. So I am now waiting on a used control unit (100 bucks used, potomac german) so I can throw this thing back together and I dont freeze my butt off.

In the meantime, I totally lubricated and cleaned my mono wiper assembly in my basement. I split the case and lubricated all the internal workings of this eccentric mechanism. I cant wait to see how fast and smoothly is glides when I get it back on. I used synthetic grease.

One question, isnt it somewhat impossible to install it backwards?? I mean, the wire connectors go on the drivers side? correct? When you snap the metal retaining strap in place, it has a cutout for those wires. Just a though, I could be wrong.

p.s. I will let you know about the final install. Hopefully tomorrow. And yes I will freeze my a$$ off putting it back together. I wish I had a heated garage.
