Hello all,

I'm chasing down what seems to be an electrical gremlin related to the heater blower motor on this car: a friend originally bought the car and I did a bunch of work on it including changing the blower fan. When I bought it back from my friend, the blower fan was only working intermittently.

When I first worked on the car, the blower died and did not come back at all. I replaced it with an aftermarket blower and while it worked at first, it now seems to be only intermittent.

Any thought as to where I should start with this? Since it works sometimes, I wouldn't think fuse, but I'm not 100% about that either. Could this be a ground issue?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Miles

Did your friend use a new or used blower motor? Also depending on brand used it could be crap out the box.

Likely you will have to strip the system down and check his work.
