...that's the issue. Here's the story:
About 6 months ago the fan blower motor was starting to go out (some days it would start, others it wouldn't). Knowing it was the motor, I purchased and installed the new motor within the old blower assembly. I cleaned the entire assembly prior to reinstalling it in the car. When i started the car, the motor was working but the air flow out the vent was really low.

Now that winter is around the corner, I decided to try and tackle this issue. Thinking it was the new motor, I purchased a functioning, used blower assembly (all stock parts). I installed the 'new' used assembly, but I'm still having the same issue.

Thanks for reading, thoughts?

 

How do you "know" it is the motor and not the resistor or a wiring issue? Sounds like your throwing parts at it without diagnosing the fault properly. Just sayin....

 

i would check the resistor and also make sure vents are not clogged or tubing not leaking inside the dash.

 

I'll guess the first replacement motor (aftermarket), you had to cut and splice the wires to the new motor.

Then with the used one, you had to undo the splice and then splice into the used factory motor.

Usually these motors are bi-directional meaning they will spin different directions depending on which wire is "hot" (voltage) and which one is ground.

So for giggles....try switching the wires you have spliced.

The number of times I've read/seen this same type of issue........the blower motor is spinning in the wrong direction.

 

this is correct. I know because I just rewired my blower motor and now she’s blowing good. Thanks a ton

 

Nice tip! Writing that one down.
