Dead fan / blower?

Yep, the resistor. Try cleaning the cage in the blower. It may be dirty, causing resistance and therefore overloading the motor.

Just confirmed that the one I found on eBay should fit nicely. $50 shipped for a brand new one is much better then $160.

If anyone is looking for one, from my understanding, any blower motor that fits one of the following will fit 1999 (and 200x) VX:

1998 - 1999 Amigo, Rodeo, Trooper, Honda Passport.

Should be here shortly I hope since it is getting hot!

Part came in, brand new OEM, perfect fit - so after 10 minutes it took to replace, I am up and running like new! Only $50 total cost

I just wanted to check... is this true?

I've been wanting to replace my blower motor with a more powerful one. There's nothing wrong with mine, I just want more of a kick to it. If one of these above are more powerful (and assuming it can be done in the first place), then I'd like to do that since my entire dash is taken apart at the moment.

Any advice? Can a mower powerful motor be used as a replacement? Will this somehow affect the resistors, wiring, etc?

It might be a tight fit, but I bet you would get better air circulation.

woow

OK so my dash is apart and I can get to the blower motor. Does anyone know if I can exchange it or "upgrade" it so that the air circulation is better? Or are we stuck with just replacing it with what Yefim did?
