i have a 99 legacy 2.5gt sedan...the fan blower stopped working 2 days ago and this does not change from AC, heater or plain air. i know the delays and resistors are the problem when only speed 4 works, as it bypasses....is my actual fan seized? is it a brusher? i found out that if i drive the car for like 20 mins the fan kicks on. all the setting work. but if i turn the car off it takes another 20 mins to kick on again. what is the cause of this?
ill look at it today. how much does a new fan cost? i was hoping it was just a resistor.
Don't know what they cost...call the dealer. If it's just a resistor, the fan will work in the highest speed position. If the motor seized, you may be able to lube the bushings either with or without taking it apart. If the motor is cooked, try a wrecking yard.
Turn the fan switch on and the ignition key to run (don't start the engine). Tap the fan motor with a hammer handle or other suitable club. If the fan motor starts to run, then it needs new brushes.
