1985GLWAGON Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hey folks, low speed doesn't work on my blower. I have one broken resistor in my resistor pack and I want to know if I can solder it back together? It's snapped right in the middle and would be easy to solder but do they get too hot? Will it just melt the solder on the first use? I know I could just replace it, but that takes $$! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heep70 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I tried to solder mine. Couldn't get the solder to stick. They put some sort of coating on the wire. I ended up putting a porcelain resistor in its place. Worked fine tell the middle one broke. I got lucky and found a good one in the salvage yard.

1985GLWAGON Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Crap, that's what I figured, nothing is ever easy. Oh well, thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heep70 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 If it is the thin coil try a porcelain resistor from Radio Shack. If I remember right it was a .47 ohm. If you want I can check it out at home, I still have it. I just snipped the broken coil out and soldered in the resistor. Like I mentioned it worked just fine, but the middle coil decided to go like six months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1985GLWAGON Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Nah, that's alright, I'll just cough up the cash for a pack instead, with my luck it'd start on fire or something if I messed with it. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heep70 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 They are located under the pass dash by your toes. If they are broke the fan will not work at certain speeds. The whinning is probably the bearing in the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1985GLWAGON Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 umm... what whining? Everything else works great, no strange noises or anything, just not 1st speed on blower. Actually I probably won't even fix it, I'll just use the other 3 speeds for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heep70 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thats funny, someone else had posted here and the post is gone. He had said something about whinning. The forum police must be baord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well... I´ve Checked Everythin´ and Voltage is Currently Goin´ to the Electric Motor of the Blower... but it did not Spin... is Dead. So, (Maybe this is a Fool Question :-\ ) I Need to Replace the Electric Motor, isn´t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well... I Will Search for one at a Junk Yard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Just for Info, I did Swapped the Old Blower Motor for another one, I´d Found in a Junk Yard... Old Motor was Sticky due of Dust & Dirt, and it did Burnt it up... Now the Air Conditioneer Works Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteel Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Does Anyone have Pics of the Resistor Pack? ... if so, I´ll Love to see ´em! Not the best, and some of the coils are missing, but it's a picture.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
