E53 Facelift AC 18" Fan Alternative
Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2015 11:24 am
OK....
here goes...
Many many pages of AC fan issues here.... NONE of them solve the problem.
The failed signal always stumps us... as it is simply witch-craft that they ever worked in the 1st place...
So, does any one know of a BMW variant that has a simple motor fan that is NOT vary speed and simply has 2 wires... and its either ON or OFF.
I intend to fit an alternative motor unit & as they all have a very similar fan hub centre, it will not be an issue to modify.
I have stripped a dead motor unit & it will be a simple excercise to refit an alternative motor to the existing fixing bracket - the one with 3 screws & it can be retro fitted without removing the front of the vehicle...
Just need a little input as to a suitable BMW donor if it exists...
I bought a universal 80watt fan unit & zip tied it in place last weekend with great success....
Now I want to go one better.
The power supply already exists at the feed plug & is fuse protected with the existing loom
