Idea New heater fan motor?

How do's? the fan stopped working in my Alfa the other day. What i'm trying to find out is will I need to get the circuit tested in case of a loose connection or should I just get another motor? Ive seen one on the bay for 15 squid today so....? any clues, or anyone had this problem themselves?
I have checked all the fuses by the way. Cheers guys.

Re: New heater fan motor?

Does it work on any speed ? If it works on some settings but not others it wont be the motor. There is a resistor pack somewhere that acts as the speed controller, seem to remember that it can give problems. A quick forum search may help you here.

The £15.00 motor sounds a bargain if you do need it, wouldn't fancy having to fit it though.

Good luck.

If you can get at it can you measure and see if there is any supply getting to it ?

Right, I've just got back from Halfords and had it checked over.
Took the motor out and it was working just fine. So that eliminates one factor. Now I've got to find out if it's a resistor/relay, and which one? switch contacts were also suggested to me, but removing that unit poses another puzzle? any clues?

Take out the resistor pack and give it a good look over, mine had lost most of the insulation on the coils, £50 and 10 mins later .... sorted!
