fan motor swap rear to front

Post by tezzer22 » Tue Aug 30, 2011 6:43 pm

Just take the front one out, strip it & free up the bearing & brushes that are probably siezed up due to water ingress, check the resistor/control packs, all the necessary links in the FAQ - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 43&t=28727
The rear heater fan is different to the front, I couldn't see an easy way of making it work, although the resistor pack from the rear works in the front for the climate control model (mine's been runnning in there for @2 years) the only difference is the cooling fins on it are 90 degrees out.
