Heater Fan Question

[gillti]

Just had my heater fan go out. Any suggestions on where I should start? I have a 72 fj40, and I think it is an electrical fan pull.

I am assuming you checked the fuse

Yep, checked the fuse and it is okay.

Not to seem ignorant, but any pics of resistor?

The resistor is the tube in the bracket on the top of the blower motor. Mine failed and only the Hi setting worked. If yours doesn't work at all I would look elsewhere.

you could just run a lead from the battery to see if the motor is working or not..

My (FJ45) blower motor worked this summer, now it doesn't. (did the lead from the battery thing). I am going to give it a thorough cleaning before I give up on it.
