Fan motor

lovema75 · 11th April 2012, 18:00

Looking for a very very very very cheap working fan motor as my 3-speed is burnt out even with new brushes. Don't want much I know!

Still if you don't ask...

...by the way did I mention it must be cheap?

Have you tried shorting the relays in the control box to see if it's definitely the fan that's at fault ?

I have a 3-speed from a diesel here, it's not mine it belongs to another forum member, I borrowed it to check my car and replaced a brush.

I'll PM him and see what he's doing with it shall I ?

Edited: sorry I assumed it was a diesel, the petrol has a different control box. Is the fan motor different or is it just the control box that differs ?

Hi Uncle, if you can find out what he is doing with it that would be great.

I have got mine to run tonight shorting it directly from the battery but only on 2 speeds!

Many thanks.

Fan motors themselves are the same across the range with the exception of some 1.8's that where physically thinner and less powerful, and the three wire 2 speed also fitted to the 1.8's

A diesel 3 speed 4 wire motor is the same as a petrol 3 speed 4 wire
A diesel 2 speed 2 wire motor is the same as a petrol 2 speed 2 wire

The difference is in the relay set up

6 motors

? What do you mean, all of the same type or different ones? Have you tried a direct feed from the battery?
