Stock fj 60 dash fan quit working. A/C compressor works but not the fan. (1 Viewer)

Compressor has cold air when you open it to ‘VENT’ but when you slide to recirculate the fan does not go on. It’s not the fuse, maybe the circuit breaker or the fan motor itself??
Any thoughts? Currently on the road to SAS9.

Poke a sturdy paper clip into the little central hole on the circuit breaker- in the fuse panel - to reset the fan breaker. Maybe it tripped.

Step 1.. verify the fan motor is working.. Get eyes on your blower motor.. it'll have a single electrical connection.. it will have just two pins, unplug it and give the two pins on the fan side of the connection Earth and Batt +.. The fan should roar into life.

If it roars into life - you have a problem that is not the blower motor.

If it doesnt roar into life the blower motor is faulty.

Your connection is probably on the opposite side to mine as this vehicle is Right Hand Drive.

Thanks @OSS did that to the circuit breaker & no luck. @duncanrm dropped the motor & the brushes are done for. Going in to town tomorrow & try to find some brushes that will work

Oops, try to find some brushes that work and a soldering iron. And then we’ll see if that solves our problem. Will let you guys know tomorrow if we get it fixed. I think we are on the right track.
