Used on Ebay

 

You forgot the spilling of blood!.............There was none.

 

There's a first time for everything.

 

Used electrical components is kind of like a used C****m, already someone elses mess.

I can see some thing such as control moduals, but not relays and such. They're to much like a fuze or light bulb.

 

^^^^ agreed. 17 bucks for a component that you plug in and forget about forever is not bad. Buy a used relay and you may have to go trouble shoot the same issue in time.

 

Not saying I don't "pocket" things like that at the JY.
Light bulbs, fuzes

 

So I changed the relay and the problem persists. The large green connector next to it looked to be in good condition. No evidence of burned or melted anywhere. What else can I check? Is it likely the blower itself?

 

Hi everyone,

New to the site. Jumped in my Jeep today and turned on the heater fan and about number 2 setting and above it started to vibrate and got worse as the setting got higher. Any ideas as to what it is?

Thanks,
larrys

 

welcome fellow oregonian.
but im willing to bet a mouse got in through the fresh air vent and had one hell of a ride till he died. pull the blower motor out and inspect.
if no mouse replace due to crap bearings.

 

This acted up again today. Dead fan.
I jostled the relay trying to remove it, and at some point the fan started working again.
The inside of the relay was very hot.

 

Oh how I've missed this place.....

Way to go bimmer!!!

 

This came back, so I am bumping this for winter!
Wen the relay is "loose", opening and slamming shut the glove box door triggers it.
However, that stopped working

I removed the relay, sprayed Deoxit into the plug.
Put the relay back in, and nothing.
Maybe too wet from Deoxit?

I bench tested the relay and it worked (anyone want to learn that, PM me)
Put the relay back in, and it worked.

Back in action!

 

Updating for the record.
Last 3 months, I've been having to tap and press the relay to get heater working.
Yesterday, that no longer worked. Relay and wires were super hot.
I swapped out the relay, and back in action!

To keep a spare, I'll go find another $5 used relay 56006709 on Ebay.
