Blower Motor Squaling like a Pig
Well I put a new J/Y heater blower motor into my car today becuase I let my other one go so bad it seized. Is it common that the heater blower motors in these cars squeal?? Is there an easy fix for this, Thanks,
Erik

My blower squeals too only when its freezing cold outside though, not during summer.
I kick it down to a lower power setting, and let it warm up for 5-10 minutes, then i can switch it to a regular setting and no squeal.
My motor stoped working, as i didnt drive my car for about 3 weeks.
I unplugged the connector, replugged
and hit the casing with a wrench several times..
surprinsingly enough, it hasnt malfunctioned since.
i will switch motors and see about the bearing sooner or later. but until then.

It seemes like mine only squeals when it is very cold outside as well. Somebody once told me that if I drill a small hole in the back of the motor and put some WD-40 in there and then siliconed up the hole it would make everything better :? Im not sure about this, has anybody done this before?
Thanks, Erik

Just be aware: If your commutator is like this one, no amount of oil is gonna make it run right.

geez Bill, how many times had you oiled that one to make it wear out like that LOL?
I have never went to lots of trouble to oil one, I just remove it and stick a Zoom spout oiler into the end bearing, couple of drops, let it migrate, then same on the shaft end. I dont get years out of them, but it gets me thru several paydays LOL.
I posted my latest experience with cheap blower motors in the 87-91 forum. New warranty replacement has been working OK since the last one smoked. Blower motors don't need to be a pain, but I am poor and stingy LOL
