MCI defroster blower motor needed

bevans6 · October 24, 2009, 02:29:53 PM

I need one, anyone have one? it's the little motor that turns the squirrel cage fan inside the dash that is ducted to the defrost and drivers heat. There are two of them, one of mine is kaput. 1980 MC 5C, probably the 8's and 9's and others are similar.

Thought I'd ask before I start phoning around on Monday!

Cheers, Brian

Check to see if it still has brushes. It may be a simple repair..

Hi Brian,

I have a couple of these blowers that came out of my Parcel racks. Do they look close?

They are 24v and quite powerful...

Nick, they are visually identical. I will contact you in a PM.

Thanks everyone, Brian

Hello Mccarlk You are one lucky sonofagun,I know its just skill right .ha ha. But seriously, it does take a lot of skill and knowledge to know a good deal and be ready to jump on it. Congrats on your find. I keep hoping that I'll find a 5a for parts someday. Have a good day, Glen
