Heater switch not working

[rfischba1]

I have a problem with the heater switch/fan motor, the fan runs then stops, sometime I have to turn it on and off . Does this mean I have a bad fan motor, of does the switch go bad on these CUCV's?

Could be either. You should test the switch with a mutimeter first.

could be motor or switch or the plug to the switch. I see more motors go out then switches but it is 20+ years old. If it were me I would start with the motor.. can get them for 20 bucks and see where that takes you.

My switch went at some point in the last 2 years... I have yet to do something about it.

What do you do for heat?

depends on the day and motivation level...

some days... I freeze...
some days... I hook a jumper wire up to make the fan run
some days... I use the arctic heater

I am pretty sure the problem is the switch.... which involves taking the dash apart... which involves pulling the stereo out... and I only think of it when its COLD out...

its a rough life I tell ya! it sux being me!!!
