Title: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on June 06 2012, 09:46:10 AM: ok, i need to know where to buy that circuit board thats held down by two screws sitting in between the heater core and the blower motor(what is that piece called?). One of the prongs rusted off and now the blower motor isn't working. I've yet to find it, and I've looked at a few sites so far. thanks for any help

Post by: phil_long on June 06 2012, 11:15:52 AM: the plug at the top is correct, but the one on the car now has a green circuit board underneath. does this serve the same purpose? i seen this but was unsure

Post by: Steve Wood on June 06 2012, 11:35:08 AM: that is the one....just a resistor network that lowers the voltage to the fan to change the speeds

Post by: SuperSix on June 12 2012, 01:37:20 PM: Do you have electronic climate control? Isn't the blower control module different for the ECC systems?
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on June 12 2012, 03:18:20 PM: I do have the Electronic climate control. I thought they were diff which is why i havent bought the part yet. Lol. I dont want to get the wrong thing
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: SuperSix on June 12 2012, 03:20:29 PM: As always, I am probably wrong, but it's the first thing that came to mind.
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on June 12 2012, 04:32:09 PM: Mines too. I seen the piece the guys referred me too before, but I thought the ECC would use a diff piece. Think I'll purchase anyway. If it doesnt work I just send it back

Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 14 2012, 11:14:21 AM: car probably hates you more! :D
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on July 14 2012, 11:35:37 AM: Im sure it does. Might get rid of it and find something else to do. The Metco Gauge i purchased wont stop leaking. Basically two purchased parts that arent beneficial...
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 14 2012, 01:45:59 PM: They are nice people...get hold of them and tell them
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on July 14 2012, 05:24:34 PM: which people are you referring to Steve? I talked to nos4gn. They were very nice.
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 14 2012, 05:57:08 PM: I thought you ordered a gauge from Metco?
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on July 15 2012, 11:03:15 AM: Oh, i did order a gauge from Metco. I was referring to the HVAC blower resistor
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 15 2012, 12:12:39 PM: so tell them it leaks
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on July 15 2012, 12:21:25 PM: thats my plan tomorrow Steve. thanks. also, what do guys normally use to mount these on the hood? I couldnt find a good spot for it
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 15 2012, 12:24:26 PM: Don't know, I think hood mounted gauges go with hardcore racers, or ricers...
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on July 15 2012, 12:25:40 PM: Lol. Ok. The gauge is pretty small anyway. guess it would be pointless for it to be mounted. thanks
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 15 2012, 12:26:35 PM: I have always just laid it up by the brakes on the inner fender
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: phil_long on July 15 2012, 12:44:07 PM: and when monitoring, under the windshield wiper?
Title: Re: Where to purchase
Post by: Steve Wood on July 15 2012, 01:08:04 PM: yup!

if using a braided line make sure it cannot touch the stud on the back of the alternator
