blower motor not working well
My blower motor decided to stop blowing lol. When I turn the fan (ac or heat) everything turns on as normal but the blower. If I increase it to max I get a hint of air. Going pull apart this evening. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Re: blower motor not working well
Not sure how you fixed it but I found a relatively simple and idiot proof way. Pull out the motor and hit the bearing and shaft with a spray lubricant. WD 40 will evaporate, especially when the heat is on. I used a product called release all. Biodegradable but doesn't evaporate. Fan spun right up and stopped making noise.

Re: blower motor not working well
Thanks for the input! I pulled the blower out, hooked it up to a power supply, spun fine.. Tested the leads in the car for power, checked fine.. Then used a Lysol wipe and cleaned the fins.. Re installed and bam! Works again lol
