This is on a 90 GL. First, the front heater. I have the heater box out and split, and have removed the blower motor, which was seized as in very hard to turn, blowing fuses, etc. I removed and lubed it (at least what I could get to) with PB blaster and then sewing machine oil. I snapped the blower shroud in half to be able to get further into it, but that hasn't happened as I do not see a way to go further without potential damage. Is there a way to get—or any point in getting—behind the blower end of the frame and armature? Now it runs like a top, but I would like to know more about the condition, like how much current should it be drawing. How do I accomplish that? I have voltmeters but need to improve my ability to use them. Finally, is the front blower motor different from the rear. Almost remembering stuff I almost used to know, Jim |
