Blower motor acting up

[mclark1983]

I'm having a bit of a problem here. 1st off. I have a 93 525i with 103k miles on it. My blower motor worked only in 3 and 4. Now it only works in the setting 4. What I want to know is that is the controls the same as here http://www.bimmernut.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35780&highlight=blower or is the wiring diffrent? And also, wheres the link on how to take out the blower so I can clean it up and lube it? I searched and searched and still can't find it. Thanks in advance.

Doubtful it's your blower motor if it works on 4!

Pull out the resitor/sword and have a look at it :)

Got similar problem... all 1-2-3 are weak and 4 is sort of medium speed... My car is 1994 540i... so what should I change? I don't think I have the old sword thing.

If your air flow is week your "pollen" filter is most likely clogged.

Did that already... Microfilter is new.

Did that already... Microfilter is new.

Have a look at the switch itself... I did a thread a loooong time ago about taking it apart and cleaning it all up!

this page is super helpful. http://gator482.hostgator.com/~bruno/Wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Fan+Blower+and+Sword

tiger check it out - you probably have a cheap resistor you can replace.

Sweetness! Like I said before, I'll check it out after I do my brakes tomorrow and I will post an update. Thanks for the link BTW! ;)
