whew, serviced the blower motor today
[ charge trek XVI ]
So in my ongoing quest to find WTF IS PULLING MY VOLTAGE DOWN WHEN MY CAR IS WARM I dove into the hull today and pulled out my blower motor.
It was a reasonable suspect - Bentley says they draw 12 amps. It made noise (kind of a grinding, moaning sound not in the nice way) and I had a mysterious burnout in my IHKR 'final stage' (sword) at one point - totally fried it... I am forever in debt to Qube for providing me with a refurbished sword that is still working perfectly.
Anyway - not as hard a job as I thought it would be.
I lubed up the moving bits and then I took it to a local 12V motor place where they told me she was working like new even though it was probably the original.
So I put everything back together... the only hard part was getting the strap back on that holds the cover in place. Now the blower works great no noise but I am still trying to find out WTF IS KILLING MY VOLTAGE AT OPERATING TEMP? I'm not so stressed... all these things I'm doing to find it are basic maintenance anyway. Next suspect is ignition wires.
