Does anyone know where the inline fuse is located for the heater blower? Blower is not working and want to try everything before I replace… I have ye owner manual and a choosing guide, neither of which tell me where this is… I just don’t want to make any unnecessary moves… Thank you in advance! ---

Have you replaced the fuses, even if they look good? They can be bad, often a good idea to swap them all out on old German cars. ---

Is there a fuse for the blower motor in the fuse box under the hood? ---

I replaced the fuse nothing, so disassembled the passenger dash, gave the motor a rap and it started up, but not the air is very cool ---

If it started when you hit it, then it is going bad. You must have a bad winding around the armature, hitting it let it move so that it was hitting a good winding. It will work fine until it stops on the bad winding again. Time to replace it ! ---

I figured that part out, I will get a new one when this one finally dies… ---

If you allow this one to die then you may also end up replacing the blower motor resistor, fan switch, or wire connectors. These things work like a line of dominos with the main problem creating other problems in the chain. ---
