mr_whirly Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Finally got around to trying out the blower motor resistor pack fix that Ed Rach/Bill Putney posted a while back- It works great! -Just have to figure where to mount this big honkin box underneath. Ha. At least I won't have to deal with my fan speeds crapping out on me anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 OK, so where can I get one of these??? my fan only runs on 3 and 4! hmmm, maybe better get two of these things! since we are about to have a second Sube on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_whirly Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Sorry, wasn't clear on that. I bought some resistors and soldered 'em together myself, put the pack in a pvc electrical outlet box. I used the original connector from the old resistor pack. I just wanted to let people know that it works if they want to try it themselves. -I got tired of trying jy replacement packs that only last a year or so.....

edrach Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Nice piece of work. Do you remember the resistor values you used. It's been so long that I didn't think anyone could find those old posts. I haven't even tried to look for them recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_whirly Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 I had copied the values from a post a while back: Coil A: Four 1.0 ohm 10W resistors, two in series, the other two in series, put the two series strings in parallel. Result 1.0 ohm 40W. (Digi-Key p/n 1.0W-10-ND) Coil B: Four 3.3 ohm 10W resistors in parallel. Result 0.83 ohm at 40W Coil C: Five 3.3 ohm 10W resistors in parallel. 0.66 ohm at 40W. (Digi-Key p/n: 3.3-10-ND) The whole thing cost about $8 to make- I have enough resistors to build another. Instead of stacking the coils I might try to mount them in a shallow rectangular project box, might be easier to mount underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 ok, so would it be possible to get a schematic of this thing?? the pic you posted doenst really show enough for me to figure this thing out - not an electronic wiz, but i could probably figure it out if I had some sort of drawing to go by. also, where did you get the pigtail from? an old resistor pack?

mr_whirly Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 I didn't really have a schematic to go by, I just used the information I posted above to build the resistor pack. I used the Blower Motor schematic from the FSM to figure out which wire from the connector goes to which coil. (1-4 speed levels). I had an old resistor pack that I took the connector off of. You can get one of them from a jy, doesn't matter if the resistor pack is toast or not. PM or email me if you want more specifics, I can send you the info from the FSM schematics, and draw up a schematic of the coil pack. This fix isn't hard to do.

edrach Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 If I remember correctly, Bill Putney published a schematic diagram of the resistor pack. It should be in the archives somewhere. If not I can figure it out and I'll get it posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
