Exclamation Mercedes 1987 Squirrel Fan Motor

My air conditioning/heater system quit working a couple of months ago. The dealer informed me that the blower and the climate control push button system had electrical faults and needed to be replaced.

Last week, I purchased both and installed my self. However, the blower is still not working.

Any ideas?

One other piece of data, before it went out completely, I had intermittent function sometimes when I started the car. It would run for some length of time and the next time I started up, it would not work.

The brushes on the blower motor might be worn, leading to intermittant contact. It is possible to replace them only, if you can find the brushes, and refurbish the motor, but it may just be easier to replace the whole deal.

If you can expose the blower, you can jumper 12v to the motor leads and see if it will turn. If not, then that's at least one thing you know needs to be fixed.

blower motor intermoittant on and off

I had the same problem, IF it is the motor, remove cover and try long nozzle (platic) with light oil to openings close to bearings (approx center between blower wheels). Possible spray lightly with WD 40. In my case this helped quiet things down and still working ! good luck, Abe G
