6 Star Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 So I did a search for this, and found nothing helpful. The heater in my brat does not work. No speeds of the fan come on... I've already checked the fuses, so I'm guessing it has to be something electrical that is wrong with the fan switch or ??? If it was the core that was bad, the fan would still come on... or thats what I'm assuming Some insight or wisdom on this would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Pull the fan motor connector and apply +12v. Could be as simple as a bad fan motor. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pksjeep Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Could be as simple as a bad ground. I have pulled fan motors out and tested them and the worked OK only to find out the ground was bad. Do as GD suggested and if it this doesn't work, use a wire to between a steel part on the fan housing/motor and any metal body part. Also test at the connector to see if you are getting power there.: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also test at the connector to see if you are getting power there.: I pulled the whole assembly apart and applied voltage to it. The motor spins, but spins really slow... deffinately not fast enough to kick out any heat or air. I then took the fan motor itself apart to find a whole bunch of crap inside. I'm just going to order a new motor for it. pksjeep: idk what you mean by a ground... there was just one power line in and out. Where would this ground be located? I'm thinking the ground is not the problem though, judging by how sluggishly the motor was spinning when I applied power to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
