fan 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.

 

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?

 

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.

Same thing happened on my 2000 Accord (spring inside the knob was loose).
Picked up a new one from the dealer for about $10cdn - works fine now.
Unfortunately, don't have the part # handy.

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

thanks.

 

Same problem, same fix.

 

Thanks, I'll check the fuses and resistor. 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?

 

Maybe, but...

"Honda 2000 LX"? No such model. 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).

Yes, it's set to II.

It actually sounds like a very steady hum, no scraping or anything
like that.

 

Maybe, but...

Oh, forgot to add, It's an Accord 2000 LX.

 

Motor's sticking. 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.

 

Motor's sticking. Nothing to do with yourresistor.

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

 

------------------------------

ON many Hondas you just look under the passenger's side, unplug the
connector, remove three screws and the whole motor and fan fall out in
your hand. 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.
