Blower Motor Diagnosis

[BlackNBlue95]

Just thought I'd share something I did today at work.

I had a 85 Corvette come into day the complaint was "Blower Motor inop" (We had replaced the blower a year ago because the motor just burned out)
First thing I did was take out my voltmeter at check to see if I had voltage at the motor (I find it's best to work from the end back) so I unplugged the power wire to the motor and hooker up my test leads turned on the blower switch and had 12 volts good.. so I plugged in the power lead to the motor and saw some arching at the ground wire inside the connector. so i cut and replaced the connector solved the problem. blower motor works fine now. I wish I took a picture of the car and melted connector this thing had over 170K miles on it I'm pretty impressed at the torq it had to for running on only 7 cyclinders (This vette has other problems)

There's my little tid bit for today... :gap

Rick,

I'm located in South Suburban Matteson. It's just right off of I-57, just a few miles south of I-80. Ever hear of that Tweeter Center? I'm less than 2 miles down the road from that place.

As for Downers Grove, I have no idea where you're at. You're northwest of Chicago right?

PS. Love the 5 spoke wheels, they're sharp!!!
