Roundeye Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I replaced the resistor set for my HVAC fan today (imagine that.....one of those going bad:rolleyes: ). While I was there, I pulled the fan to make sure it was clean. DAMN. It was full of leaves, insulation and acorns (damn mice). I stuck an inspection mirror in the fan housing and looked at the A/C evaporator....HOLY S#!T. It was packed with leaves blocking more than 50% of the fins. So I stuck the vacuum hose in there and cleaned it out. It was incredible just how much crap was in there. Now the A/C is crazy cold. I gotta do my others now. I highly recommend you do the same. It made one helluva difference in my A/C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 whats an easy way to access it? I have seen leaves come out of my vents and im sure it needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I agree that it is a good idea to clean it - and it is easy to do - remove the passenger side kickpanel, and right above it is the blower motor - not that hard to remove either - thought my blower had gone bad, but it was really leaves and other crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 so i took out the blower motor and indeed there were leaves and stuff in the fins. but do you really reach throgh the hole to the evaporator to clean it out? i cant see the darn thing through it.

Yes. Stick a small mirror in the hole and look left. You will see the evap. (and leaves, insulation, pine straw, etc.) Stick just the hose part of a vacuum in there and feed it in that direction. It's tight, but worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
