Fan blower resistor replacement for Astro Safari 2000

[rooster4]

so do I replace the whole fan motor assembly?

Correct, but I think you keep your squirrel cage.

If the motor is original, then it will be enclosed in a rubber case. You need to take a razor knife and cut along the groove. It's an easy procedure. Took me about 20 mins. My replacement motor came with instructions too.

Do you remember where and how much?

$50 @ B&J parts (in my city only)

The factory blower wheel (the correct term for the squirrel cage) is plastic. The aftermarket is metal. Buy a new wheel and motor and it'll last longer. Somewhere in these forums is a write-up for the replacement that I posted.

The 2 different blower motors I have bought (for 2 different vans) came with the squirrel cage fan already attached and both had lifetime warranties. Get them at Autozone or Advance Auto for around $30.
