Got er done. Thoughafter putting the bulbs back in their proper positions the randomly flashing light in my dash turns out yo be my seatbelt light. Some times caused by using an electrical device. The dutation leads me to believe it is an ignition reset but that is another problem. Lawrence Rhodes Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android |

Re: HVA/C blower problem Posted by: "Aleph93" aleph93@ca.rr.com aleph93 Date: Sat Jul 27, 2013 8:39 am ((PDT)) Thanks Nate. Your situation sounds different then mine, being that my blower works at low to high speeds just fine, with the replacement controller. Just changing out the controller, it went from no air, to air at all speeds. I'll keep the blower in mind, if there further issues, as I'm sure the brushes are worn after all these years. I picked up another A/C controller yesterday at PAP, while getting a few things for my wife's car, just to keep in the trunk. It looked pretty good, with a nice clean circuit board, not burned like many are. I won't test it until next week, as right now the A/C is working great, and I need to drive inland into the heat this weekend, so don't mess with it.

The bolts lined up just fine, but the wiring was a few inches too short. Rodger gave me a quick intro to splicing wires, so that I could follow up with that later, but when I went to snap the seatbelt in place, it wouldn't fit. The "tongue" end from my SD seemed too big or a different shape and didn't snap into the "receiving" end from the 86 SDL.

Re: HVA/C blower problem cured? Posted by: "n61cm" jim@tazwade.com n61cm Date: Sat Jul 27, 2013 12:51 pm ((PDT)) I believe the symptoms of bad brushes is that the blower motor will frequently refuse to start unless you start it at the highest/fastest setting, then it will run at any speed once it is going. So if it won't start on low, but will start on high, and then run on low after it gets moving, that could be the brushes. I don't know what car you have this problem with but you can get $100 blowers for the W123s now from most of the online parts houses.
