August 24, 200520 yr 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 $$!
August 24, 200520 yr 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.
August 24, 200520 yr Author Crap, that's what I figured, nothing is ever easy. Oh well, thanks for the info!
August 24, 200520 yr 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.
August 25, 200520 yr Author 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!
August 25, 200520 yr 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.
August 26, 200520 yr Author 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.
August 26, 200520 yr Thats funny, someone else had posted here and the post is gone. He had said something about whinning. The forum police must be baord.
March 29, 200719 yr 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?
March 31, 200719 yr 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!
April 1, 200718 yr 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..
