Replacement fan motor, 3 speed to 4 speed
Hi, I have a 1980 GL that I just acquired. The fan and/or switch appears to be broken. I've checked into getting it replaced and garages want $800 for the job! Looks like they don't make the 3 speed motor anymore so a 4 speed motor has to be used.
Does anyone have any instructions on replacing this motor? Lessons learned? I can order the parts but also hear that some modifications have to be made to make the new motor fit.
thanks, Mike

RE: Replacement fan motor, 3 speed to 4 speed
I will see if i can find any instructions for you.It is a pain in the butt to replace the blower motor.You have to remove the entire panel that your switch is mounted in then a bunch of the vent tubes and covers.If you do it will take you about a day to a day and a half.It is pretty complicated to replace the motor.I think book time is like 6 to 8 hours for the experianced tech to replace.
