Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / October 20032000 Intrigue blower motor problem
My 2000 Intrigue blower moter started making a funny noise over the weekend during a long trip. It was hot and the air condotioning was on all the time. After the blower motor started speeding up and slowing down we noticed that the carpet on the front passengers side of the car was soaked with water. On Sunday I took the cover off to expose the motor and found that the lower part of the motor was full of water. There is a rubber tube coming from the blower down to the bottom of the motor, I assume to cool the motor. This is were the water is coming from. The tube blows air normally but when there is condensation from the air conditioner it lets water get down into the blower motor. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does Oldsmobile have a fix for it? I drained 1.5 quarts of water from the tube on Sunday morning. Any help is appreciated.

That tube is to drip the condensed water outside. It's probably clogged and all you need to do is to unclog it. And if you have a cabin air filter, it's past due for a replacement. HTH Where would that filter be located? I don't know if I have one or not. I just purchased my 2000 Intrigue GL used. It's pretty loaded, though... > > There is a rubber tube > > coming from the blower down to the bottom of the motor, I assume to cool the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > HTH No, this tube is inside the cabin and goes from a nipple on the bottom of the fan shroud down and into a hole in the side of the blower motor. It blows air through the tube when it is working normally. I assume it is to cool the fan blower motor. I will look into the cabin filter as a possibility. Thanks for the input.
