question regarding heating/ac fan, 98 voyager

Nov 29, 2010 0 Replies

The fan in my 98 voyager completely died, with nothing at all happening when I went through the various rotary switch settings.



When I drove up to the shop, it came on and did fine.



It died again an hour later.



Drove to shop, it's fine.



This has happened a bunch of times by now.



The folk there suggest that it's probably the fan motor with a "dead spot" (they had a differnet term which I've forgotten). They figure what's happening is that sometimes the motor shuts off with everything positioned just wrong, so turning it on does nothing.



Then, a bit later, after some potholes.... it gets shaken and moved enough to get to a "live" portion and comes back.



They recommend replacing the fan assembly (this is the one that's right behind the passenger side glove compartment).



It makes sense to me, but I figured I'd ask around for a second opinion before committing the cash.



Thoughts? Thanks muchly.
