960 Replacing Evap Blower Motor

[stiligFox]

I think my evaporator blower motor has gone bad, but before I go through all the trouble of ripping the old one out, I just want to make sure. Mine is the 1992 system, full ECC.

A year ago I started hearing it make that bad ball bearing sound that fans do, but just a couple days ago I noticed that when I first start up the car, the fan isn't running. It will start after I go over a big bump, or slap the air return vent under the passenger kick panel. This is telling me that the motor is getting hung up, and the bump/slap is giving it the gumption to start moving. Does this sound right?

As for replacing it - my car doesn't have the passenger knee bolster, so I don't have to worry about getting that out of the way. My question is, can I do with by just removing the glove box? Any other tips? I have a blower motor from a 97 S90 that I'm going to put in there and see if that works before I spend the money on a new one.

Thanks guys!

Much obliged, thanks! Saved that, it answered my questions.

If only replacing the heater core was as easy as they make it sound though...

The blower motor is a 30 minute job. But the 960 DO have a specific fan, and 7/9's don't work.

And I've done 2 7/9 heater cores ((MCC), and it was just tedious, not too bad. Online instructions from the BB FAQ's were great

Right on!

I assume a 97 S90 fan will work in my 92 960?

Thanks!
