so i have a 94 civic cx, the blower motor has given me problems for the past couple years. The wires were burning up and everything else. I finally got those fixed and they havent caused any problems

My problem now is the motor isnt working when it is up in the dash. If i take it out and turn it up side down (so it is spinning on the floor) it works. But when it tilt it right side up it stops working. it wants to but just doenst. Has this happened to anyone. Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

The car is a cx so it has no air, and it is just to damn hot not to have air blowing in the car.

 

anyone?

 

I hope someone helps you but I know nothing about AC

 

Bearing in the motor is shot, and/or the commutator is making contact with the magnetic field coils, resulting in no movement when it is upright.

A DC motor works on repelling poles of dissimilar charges, if the + charge makes contact with a - charge, it will not repel, because opposites attract. The motor spins because the commutator is set up so that whenever the + on the shaft meets a + on the magnetic field windings, they repel, and spin the motor. That is most likely the reason the wires burned up, because if there is a direct connection, there is no resistance, and is just like touching the positive terminal to ground, it sparks, and produces a lot of heat. The contact may have still had resistance, but the current flow to them was greater than the wires would allow, causing them to burn up, fusible links use this principle to prevent huge current draws, so the wire will break if too much power for the wire grade used is passed through it.

 

Thank you very much, it's nice to see that you can still get a good anwser with out getting flamed. to you . Time to look for a new motor i guess now.

 

autozone has em...so do the salvage yards if you are lacking$$$

 

I have one from my 92 dx, took it out when I gutted the car. The car also had no A/C so it's just like yours. PM me if you'd be interested in buying- I'd sell you the entire assembly, not just the replacement motor.
