Default Re: I found this part to be the cause of the erratic climate control fan speed

Ok, everyone. By now you have probably seen my post where I fixed my erratic blower problem in my car. This can be caused by three things:
Bad blower motor "resistor" - easy fix, part is cheap. (Somewhat common)
Spotty contacts between the circuit boards in the climate controller (rare but it has happened)
Bad potentiometer in the climate controller (getting to be very common - if the fan speed responds and even works correctly for a time after rotating the fan speed ****, then this is the cause)

I have decided to offer a repair service for the potentiometer failure and will clean the contacts between the boards at the same time.
If your fan speed is erratic, or the blower simply stops running at times, change the "blower motor resistor" first. If this does not correct the problem, you can send me the controller and I will clean the contacts between boards and replace the potentiometer.

Here is how it works:
You remove the controller from the car and send it to me (USPS preferred but that's up to you).
I will fix it and send it back by USPS Priority Mail, medium flat rate box, insured for $200 with tracking number in your email when I ship.
The part, labor and shipping to you is $65.

OTHER CAUSES FOR THE FAN TO ACT UP INCLUDE: odd issues with the ECU that is causing A/C to cut out altogether (red light on A/C switch will go out, if it does not go out, the potentiometer is probably the cause); a bad blower motor resistor (so change it before you contact me) or a bad blower motor (usually caused by water leaking thru the vents, you will have water on the passenger side under the carpet in this case).
If you are considering sending me your controller, friend me and message me here on Facebook first and I will talk with you to try to be sure it really IS the controller and not something else BEFORE you spend money on my fix.

GIVE ME A DAY and I will write up a tutorial on how to remove the controller and re-install it afterwards - it's not all that hard.

Not sure I want to be the "DJ of the Erratic fan speed problem" but I thought I'd make this offer after five people on FB asked to send me their controllers.
