Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2007fan control dial for 1999 honda accord
The control dial to turn the fan from on to high no longer works. I have look at different sites and for the life of me I can not find one. Any body know of a part number or a place to buy one online. bertann <bertann1@suddenlink.net> wrote in news:1190853736.898357.92430 @n39g2000hsh.googlegroups.com: > The control dial to turn the fan from on to high no longer works.

The switch itself rarely goes bad, but the blower fan resistor is a regular failure point. Does the blower fan work at low fan speeds but not at the higher ones? Have you checked the blower fan fuse?

I have eaxctly the opposite. My fan doesn't work at lower settings, only at higher settings.

I also noticed that at the lower positions, I can hear some sounds coming from the engine (when the engine is off), as if the fan is 'trying to work'. But only when I set it to 3 or 4, it will start blowing into the car. BTW, I have a Honda 2000 LX, would that change the diagnosis? >> >> The switch itself rarely goes bad, but the blowerfanresistor is a >> >> regular failure point.

Do you mean "2000 Honda Civic LX"? When you say "engine is off", I hope you mean when the key is turned to "II". If the key is at "I" or "0", the fan can't turn on at all no matter what. If you do actually hear the fan "trying to turn", then the problem may be debris in the fan housing that prevents the fan from turning until the motor is supplying lots of torque. Or the motor is going bad and needs to be replaced. The fan is under the passenger's side of the dash, just above his feet. Have a good listen down there to see if you can tell if the noise sounds like something's trying to turn (a scraping or a loud hum).

Nothing to do with your resistor. Does it spin smoothly at the higher speeds, or is there scraping at that time? Either the bearings are seizing or debris is causing the fan to hang up. Drop the fan assembly and see if it spins freely when spun by hand. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > Motor's sticking.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll check that this weekend. I hope my Hanes manual shows me how to do that ;-) >> Motor's sticking.

Parts diagrams are at www.slhondaparts.com Have a good flashlight and small mirror to inspect for mice / twigs. Use an air hose to blast out the carbon in the bottom end where the brushes are.

Any body know of a part number or a place to buy one online. Have you pulled it off and looked at the back side of it? The metal insert on mine broke loose from the plastic knob and it just spun on the shaft. I Gorilla glued the insert back in place and swapped knobs with the temp knob that has much less resistance on it. Good to go and saved the $10 or so you find them all over eBay for. > The control dial to turn the fan from on to high no longer works.

Picked up a new one from the dealer for about $10cdn - works fine now. Unfortunately, don't have the part # handy. > The control dial to turn the fan from on to high no longer works.
