replacing a heater/AC fan on '91 accord COST!

I have no ventilation inside my '91 accord, what's a fair price to get this
fixed? I was told $400 from a trusted mechanic, which is like 40% of the
value of the car... And the temperature reaches 100F daily here in summer so
it's essential...

opinions?

 

what is $400 in relation to a new car payment or even insurance on that
new car?

 

I dont think that was my question.

 

I had one done on my '02 Accord. And yes, it did run close to that.
The fan is pretty pricey to begin with and there's several hours of
labor involved. It's NOT an easy job.

======================================

On most mid-'90's Hondas, (Yours may not be the same) you unplug the
connector, remove three Phillips screws, the whole fan / motor falls on
the floor. Have you looked underneath your dash, or checked Majestic
Honda's site for diagrams? A used blower would be cheap at the wreckers
and the labor might be free.

In addition, some of the early motors can be taken apart. Might be as
simple as cleaning the armature (with WD-40) and re lubing or replacing
brushes. I have "fixed" several vintage early 1980's motors that were
otherwise declared "dead."
