Blower motor question

Hi everyone

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer CE (although on paperwork it was listed as CE2).

Today whilst going for a long drive in warm weather I had the fan and cooling going full blast and for over an hour. Just as I turned off the freeway I started smelling something burning with an electrical type of smell - most unpleasant. I wasn't sure whether it was my car or something the air conditioning had sucked in from another car.

Shortly afterwards I noticed that my fan had stopped blowing. The AC button light remained on but nothing was coming out of the vents.

When I got home I grabbed a multimeter. I saw that the blower fan was located under the glovebox so I pulled the plug from the fan and measured the voltage. There was none. I then checked the fuses and it appears that there is a 25A fuse for the air conditioning and it was blown. I replaced it and turned the AC on only to find that the replacement fuse had also blown.

It looks to me like the blower motor is gone and needs replacing. I am located in eastern Melbourne near Bayswater. Where I the best/cheapest place to pick up a second hand replacement motor - Pick A- Part maybe? I can easily pull a blower motor out of a car.

Also what part number is the appropriate part number for the blower motor (including AC)? Which other years and models Lancers used the same part?

Thanks
Peter
 
jolly's are another self-service wrecker (a la pick-a-part), they have locations in dandenong and ringwood (and geelong)

also mits-fix are right in bayswater, never used them but they sponsor one of the magna forums
 
Great. Thanks for that. I looked on the Jollys Ringwood website and they have a 99 Lancer CE amongst others. Would the Heater fan from that car fit a 2000 model lancer CE?


Funnily enough I pass by that car yard every day and never knew it was a self service wreckers.

cheers Peter
 
They’re all the same from 1996-2003. Lancer coupe, sedan and Mirage.
