2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Heater/blower motor burned up.

[Justbeamn]

While driving to work yesterday I smelled something burning like wiring to the point where my eyes were burning, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. On the way home I noticed it again only stronger. As I pulled into my driveway I put the blower on full to see if it was the problem and it started making noises and smoke came out of the vents... I'm thinking that's bad!



Anybody loose a blower motor before? I only have about 75K on the truck. At least it's covered under warranty.

Mine went out not too long after the warranty expired.

It started making the "failed bearing" sound and wouldn't come up to full speed. The case was getting real hot @ the bottom (where the lower bearing that supports the weight of the armature is).

My Diesel wrap 5/100,000 states,"Air Conditioning /Heater Blower motor;Seals and Gaskets for the listed components.

It covers quite a bit from Mopar accessories: ie stereo and pwr mirrors, to front and rear suspension.

Mine was replaced under warranty, 36K for a similar problem. I think it is pretty easy to replace.
