Re: heater blower motor
are you sure it's not just the heater controls? i've found them to be pretty prone to malfunctioning. mine doesn't work on the 1 or 2 settings, and the controls from my parts car are the same. it's a much easier job than the blower motor though.

Re: heater blower motor
Those blower fans seem to cost only $20 at pick and pull and when I went to the Kelowna pick n pull they had lots of the hatchbacks from 83-87 and three of the station wagons. It is very easy to remove and the non-4wd and non-station wagon versions should have the same blowers.

Re: heater blower motor
I can get one for you, if I do not have one in my boxes of junk. Verify you actually need the motor (try a jumper wire direct from battery, or check you have power at the motor with volt meter with the switch "on") and than PM me if you still need it.

Re: heater blower motor
A guy in Lakewood, WA posted a Craigslist ad on 6/30/10 for misc T4WD parts, including a blower motor
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5643
looks like the ad's been pulled from Craigslist, but if you can't find another source it might be worthwhile calling him

Re: heater blower motor
If you do a search on the blower motor...you'll find some stuff...there is an issue with a resistor that goes bad and causes the speed control not to work.....guy had a way to repair this resistor. Might still be on here.

Re: heater blower motor
hi guys, sorry, been really slack at posting the repair I did on the resistor for the fan as mine seems to have failled again. anyway if you want me to pm you photos just message me. As you might be able to work out why mine broke again after 12 months and now I am back to only full and no speed fan.

Re: heater blower motor
I posted a method of repairing the resistor pack about a year ago.
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3651#p27337
No pics, I did it before I joined the forum. The reason that they go bad is the resistor coil vibrates to death eventually after the ceramic adhesive breaks up. I used the barrel of an 18-20ga crimp connector(after snipping the fork off of it) to effect the repair. You can't solder the wire, its Nichrome, so you have to use a mechanical crimp to do -besides, the resistor coil heats up and solder might melt anyway.
