Default Please answer! Im freezing to death!

Hi!

I drive a 94' c220 diesel w202

Recently, after a couple of months with my heater-fan squeeking, the fan just suddenly stopped working. It's been -10 to -22 degrees celsius outside, and I have no heating og fan at all.

1.All the fuses are ok.

2.Someone told me I should connect power directly on the fan, to see if the motor works, how do I do this? Im not so good at electric stuff

3. Is the "fan-box" in the back of the motor-room, straight ahead of the frontwindow?

Any ideas of what's wrong? would really appreciate a quick answer, as I have to get this fan working asap:/ sorry for bad english..

Thanks,
-lokey

id say its the blower motor itself.the brushes in the motor tend to burn out.if you leave the motor turned on and hit the panel above the passenger feet it can sometimes get it working for a short time.

So u think I shall replace the whole blower motor, or just the brushes? thanks for the answer.

If it was squeeking, it was more than just brushes - replace the assy.

Rusty sells them for $307.00. He ships to Europe, so he could save you some money.

Thank you very much! Is this the original fan? I dont have A/C. If this is the one I need I will buy it right away. And where is the red electric wire going?

Some new questions but I want to be sure before I buy, once again thank you

I have no idea as I am not Rusty. His phone number and email are listed on his site - contact him directly.

If you want to see if the blower works, remove it and hook up 12vdc. If it works then, then you have a different problem.
