---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 22:08:48 -0500 (CDT) From: "Kevin Jay (Mr.Fabulous)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Cc: Kevin Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: E36 A/C blower Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My recollection with my car (and understand my memory doesn't work as well as it used to) is that a failed control unit behaves as you describe here (display as normal, but no fan). Boy, it's been a few years, I may not be certain of this (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). I replaced mine with a re-man unit from (I think) Pacific BMW (for a lot less than new). If you're concerned about throwing money at it, find a friend with an E36 and swap in theirs (it easily snaps out). - k --- original message --- From: Kevin Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: E36 A/C blower The blower gave up in my '97 328is this morning. It's not turning on at all--no matter what speed I set it on, the fan stays off. I know about the climate control computer faults, but the entire display is still functional and all the buttons work, so I don't believe it's that. In my E30, I know it's the resistor pack when the fan only works on high, and it looks like there is a resistor for the E36 as well. Is that the likely culprit? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 23:36:43 -0400 From: Kevin Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: E36 A/C blower Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Update: It's fixed now. The resistor pack was iffy--I replaced it, and it still didn't work, so I checked the fuses again. I'd checked the fuses before, and they looked good, but the blower fuse was actually blown right at one of the posts (original BMW fuse). I replaced it and the blower started working again. I reinstalled the factory resistor, and it seems to be working for now, but I'm keeping an eye out for it to quit again--the resistor was REALLY warm when I pulled it out, even though it wasn't getting power.

What else you got stuck on that seat?!? ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 20:14:44 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Gum on seat Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Didn't a previous discussion along these lines suggest WD40? -Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.
