Bill Hanlon Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have been working on my 1983 for several years and this year I have it on the road. Now trying to make the ride more enjoyable and the wife is asking for Air Conditioning. I have traced the problem down to a dead short coming from the evaporator fan motor and the blades in the squirrel cage are frozen. Has any one ever attempted to replace the fan motor? Nothing in the repair manual on the subject just a diagram in the parts manual. 1) Can it be accomplished without removing the full evaporator assembly? It appears to be 6 screws holding the two fans in place on the bottom of the evaporator assembly. I will need to remove the seats to get at it from the back. 2) If you need to remove the full assembly any suggestions of best practice would be appreciated.

rev ken Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 on my 1980 the motor was stuck. I couldn't turn it at all. I said a quick prayer, and wiggled it and it suddenly turned free. been working fine ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
