Cabin Blower running Backwards

Post by xirdneh »

I was wondering why air flow was low after replacing blower with working used one.
the plug had been cut off and female wire blades installed.
i did not know that it would run backwards if the wires were not connected right (reversed)
Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

Affirmative. Reversing polarity on most electric motors will do precisely that. Now, you're heating or cooling the outside using air from your cabin.
Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; For the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:25-26
