pN 87104 - heater blower fan motor - 24V? (1 Viewer)

[John Hatchett]

I have a 24V BJ41 and want to replace a failed blower fan motor. The part number at toyodiy is 87104-60141 and toyotaonlineparts.com has a "replacement" on sale for $79.32.

Is the same motor used for both 24V and 12V systems and do I need make sure to move a resistor or something from the original assembly?

Thanks,
John

my hj61 uses a 24v motor for the fan, if you were to hook a 12v up it would blow its guts out and burn out pretty quick

Thanks! Just placed the order and hoping next winter I have a working heater in the field. Soft tops are nice in the summer but not so much in the winter.

Now I just need to get the correct thermostat installed.

Dang! Just got an email from toyotaonlineparts.com that the item was discontinued and they can't find one anywhere.

I thought OP were using old Escort (ford) fan blower motors as replacements?

For a 24V system?

That looks like a big resistor on the original blower.

I have a similar (but different) resistor on my 12V BJ40 blower motor:

I believe that's what's used to drop the speed for the lower speed setting.

Have your tried sourcing the 87104-60200 24V version? (Cold spec LHD)

Perhaps it's adaptable/interchangeable?

 

[John Hatchett]

That makes sense.

I have not tried sourcing 87104-60200 yet. Tomorrow I am going to look at the windings on my core and see if perhaps there is something simple like an internal jumper for 12V vs 24V.

Probably just worn brushes. The problem comes if it's left too long it takes out the commutator too and then your done.

I fixed my blower last year using brushes from a stand alone 12v fan.

That reminds me to get some spares from an electric motor rebuilder.

Maybe I just need to rewind the original. Anyone have experience rewinding motors?

 

[John Hatchett]

I think I found a shop that will rewind the armature for a reasonable price.

I have the one off my 41 on a shelf in the garage if you can't find one.

FYI, I think that the updated Toyota part is still available -- 87104-60120

 

[John Hatchett]

Everything fixed and working again. Thanks for the help.

What did it cost to get the armature rewound may I ask?

When I search the Toyota database on that number it comes up as the blower motor for a right-hand-drive FJ55 (which would be 12V and may be different in other respects too)

$90. I took it to a local alternator rebuilder.
