Took apart my Niner e-fan, thinking maybe I could make it work again.
Cleaned it up and discovered that 3 out of 4 low speed brushes were seized as well as 2 of the high speed brushes.
Cleaned the whole mess with electric motor cleaner and freed up the brushes so they make contact with the commutator.
Lubed the bushings, lined everything up properly, put it back together and crossed my fingers.....
Nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Bupkus.:drool::drool:
Looks like I'll be throwing down $100 at O'Reilly for a VDO #PM9069 fan motor.
Along with $137 for a reman 136A alternator, since both the Niner fan and the alternator got deep-sixed in goopy mud on our club's last wheeling trip, and both are feeling it's wrath.
I've never been a fan of mud, and my wallet is the reason why...:laugh:
This is why I'd rather flex and climb stuff!:2thumbsup:
