'89 CRX HVAC fan
In my '89 CRX, the interior fan for the heater/air conditioner sometimes
works and sometimes it doesn't. I replaced the entire HVAC control panel on the dash, and it worked ok for a week. Now, same thing. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. |
Re: '89 CRX HVAC fan
I once had the fan switch go bad, but it seems you already replaced
yours. Another common failure is the resistor pack that is used to get different fan speeds. Typically if this resistor pack is broken the highest fan speed will still work. The resistors are usually mounted somewhere on the fan itself. owalkerjim wrote: > > In my '89 CRX, the interior fan for the heater/air conditioner sometimes > works and sometimes it doesn't.

Solution was to make sure care was clear of snow at end of day, and let heater core warm up with fan OFF, so ice would melt (or blast hot water in at car wash :-) ) YMMV 'Curly' ================== |

I'm in Orlando, Florida. We haven't had much snow here lately. Thanks for
the suggestion, though. "'Curly Q.

Re: '89 CRX HVAC fan
That's exactly what was happening, it only worked on high speed...and then
it quit working entirely. Then I replaced the control panel. I'll look for the resistor pack. Thanks very much!
