patched my blower motor

[brokebill]

blower motor quit working.(coldest spell of the year)

 

tested the wire at the blower motor for power. it had power.

 

ran power straight to the fan just to be sure and still nothing.

 

figured i'd have to get a new one so just for the sake of curiosit i'd open it up and have a look.

 

looked a whole lot like a power window motor i patched in my Ford.

same problem to.

 

one of the spring-loaded wired contacts had came lose and half of one of the springs was gone.

 

a dab of super glue to reattach the contact to the wire ,

a thick ink pen spring,

and now i have heat again.

 

(my wife was wonderful in helping put it back together since it takes 4 hands to keep all those little parts together during reassembly)

 

wired it up backwards the first time so pulled it back off and we pulled it apart and fixed it right.

 

i will get one my next trip to pullapart but it will do for now.

 

also, isn't the blower motor out of a lot of mazdas interchangeable into my subaru?

 

thanks, Bill
