A/C Blower problem 2004 TL
Good morning gents,
I have a 2004 TL Auto w/Navi with 190,000 miles. My a/c blower is failing intermittently. When it does work, everything seems fine e.g. cold air, fan speed works on all setting, etc.. Occasionally, when I get in my car and start the engine, the blower fails to turn on. I will drive down the road and after a few miles it will magically start working again. I have found that if the blower fails to work when I start the car, I can "whack" the motor with the palm of my hand and it will turn on and function properly. My questions are:
1.) Has anyone ever had this issue?
2.) How did you resolve it?
3.) How difficult is it to remove the blower motor, disassemble it, and clean/change the windings/brushes?

Then I'd jump the blower motor. If it runs fine, then I'd replace the resistor.

I have a transistor that I took out of my car that still works if you want it. I had the problem and it turned out to be the blower motor but I changed the transistor too. Mechanic said it still works, but didn't know if it would last 1 week or another 5 years. If you're interested, send me a message and you can have it just for whatever it cost to ship it, so like $6. I think I paid $60 for the new one!
