My interior fan motor won't turn off, even with the key out, I had to remove number 36 fuse to keep the battery from going dead. I read where this is a common problem and a fan switch would fix the problem but the threads were old and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem recently.

 

Ok, I took out the blower resister motor, tested it and it's bad, apparently when they go bad, it can either cut off the fan completely or it can leave it on. Now I'm looking for the best price on a replacement?

Several of us including me have recently bought this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RU567-Mercedes-SLK320-SLK350-AMG-A-C-Fan-Blower-Motor-Resistor-NEW-2108206210-/151141015915?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2330b4e16b&vxp=mtr
Look at the recent posts in the thread I linked here: Blower motor resistor

There are photos and a very informative video on how to replace this
I did mine in about 45 minutes

 

I've got one coming, should be here on Monday or Tuesday, anxious to get it in and drive this beauty.

 

I had the same problem with '05. Hope hope younwent to the link on ebay that was given I purchased mine there, great price and free ship. Easy install. By the way, go ahead and change cabin filter while you have it open. Mike

 

Yup I already had to replace the resistor once, so now I might just grab another to have just in case. Not hard to access the area for replacement at all.

 

Yup this forum was great, replaced the resister as well as the cabin filter and all is great again. It's really a simple job. It was a bit of a bummer, buying a 8,460 mile car and having it arrive with a dead battery and once jumped, a fan motor that wouldn't turn off. The previous owner had no problems with it, so it's my guess it just went out during the load or a re-load. At any rate, it's a memory now and the car runs great.

 

You want to see great deal in so.ca. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/c...330.html....05 limited.one owner, less than 11,000. If I didn't already buy a new car, insurely would buy it.

 

What ever it was, it didn't last long, the listing has been removed.

 

hey, my 04 crossfire has a problem the ac fan want stop blowing with switch or turning key off doesn't matter I have to pull the 30 amp fuse to get the blower to stop!! Have you any advice??

 

Hey my interior fan want cut off unless I pull the 30 amp fuse, can you tell me what I need to do? ive got a 04 crossfire, I would appreciate the advice.

 

well...it looks like they just did......^^^^^^^^^...... read the install instructions post #3. Click on "blower motor resistor".

 

If you read through this post, you'll know what to do, don't buy your resistor from Chrysler, pick it up from ebay (they're the same thing for a fraction of the price) it's an easy installation and while your over there Under the glove box, you might as well change your cabin filters too, I'm pretty sure, if this resistor has shorted out, that they'll be dirty too. It's not a big job, just take off the panel, then the cover and you'll see the resistor, take it out and replace it. You can still drive the car by pulling that fuse every time you stop, it's a nuisance but it will get you by while you wait for the part off of ebay.

 

Not to change the subject, but I bet you would like to have two of those vettes back...lol Great memory btw. I can't remember that far back... OK, back to fan resistors...

 

I still have them all, everything listed. I suffer from that 'is one is good, two are better' problem.

What ? are you and Jay Leno related ?
And what is a "29 ROOSEVELT" ? Google didn't even come up with anything on that !

 

Well having a shop full of old Vettes and old Chevy's, isn't a bad thing! And the rest all have a reason I'm sure if I mentioned my 360 plus old Coke machines, you would really think I'm crazy.

In 1927 Cadillac came out with the LaSalle; Marmon wanted to follow suit with an inexpensive Marmon. At the time, you could get a new Chevy for around 600, a new Cadillac was in the $4,200 range and a new Marmon were in the 7k range. They were truly the Rolls Royce of the US and a shame they went under in the early 30's. Anyway, in 1929 old man Marmon was out voted by the Board and they made a cheap Marmon, they named it the Roosevelt and even had a porcelain picture of Teddy on the radiator shell. Old man Marmon quit the company and the Board quit making the Roosevelt to get him to return in early 1930. Marmon then produced the sweet sixteen (one of the most impressive cars to come out of the 1930's); The Roosevelt, being the black sheep of the Marmon Company; you can imagine, not many collectors of Marmon's, wanted to give it much credit, has kind of died a quick death, very few were made or survived. It looks like a Model A on steroids! I have a very rare one, most, as you could guess were four doors with wooden wheels, mine is a two door, three window coupe with wire wheels, it also has only 15,000 miles the rubber on my floorboard looks brand new, the engine looks new, and it's an 85 year old car. Harrods in Reno had it in their collection for over 35 years, it was then sold to a private collector in the Bay Area, he had it for 17 years, and I've had it for at least 20 years. It's a pretty rare car, although I'm not sure it's worth that much, maybe 30 to 40k max.

BTW, I was in Leno's garage recently, he did a show on my Deco Tripod - Randy Grubb (a close friend - look him up on the net) was the brains behind the pod, I helped him on the design, size and mounting of the tripod, and I enjoy number one of six (all that will be produced). If you come to the SEMA Show, I will have Randy's latest creation in my booth, I'll be in hotrod alley.

OK, I know now....lol. It is a pleasure having you on this forum. Nice, nice collection. Hopefully we will make the SEMA next year.
