Decided it's about time I figured out why the heater/AC blower in my car hasn't worked since I bought it, was told by the PO that it just suddenly quit working one day. Went through the normal troubleshooting steps - check fuses, check switch, etc, and got to the point of putting 12V direct to the blower motor when I found that it just wasn't there.....beginning to think that the PO gave me quite a few "little white lies" lol (but for a $450 car that runs and drives, I'm certainly not complaining)
Anyways, checked with the local auto parts stores to find that it's a special order item, with a price tag of roughly $85, plus another $20 for the fan cage, and surprisingly Rockauto.com wanted _more_. According to Rockauto's cross reference, only the Nissan/Datsun 210, 510, and the Capri used this particular motor, which seems awfully odd to me. Not exactly a part that would have to be designed just for these two (completely different) cars.
So that said, are there any other cars that might also use these motors that I could check the junkyards for before shelling out $100 just to have heat half a dozen times this year, or even something that could be made to work with minimal modifications?
