rear fan motor

[helibrian]

my rear fan motor has stopped working. I'm sure its not the fuse. anyone know where the motor is located.I'm thinking beside the right captain chair?

Considering you posted this question in the "L300 Technical" sub-forum, I'm assuming you're driving a L300 - it should be in the wall panel underneath all the controls. I never took this apart, but others have (and removed it altogether). Look for an old Mystery Machine post about removing the rear A/C unit - he did that in one of his vans. So did fexlboi in the DinoEVO.

The fan is in there somewhere.

pull off the wall panel (body plugs) and use a phillips to remove the fan shroud cover. behind there is the electrical connection. Check to see is the wires smell like acid. I fixed one years ago where the positive lead was aging and rubbed against the sharp metal cutout in the side body panel, frayed and took out the fuse.

I have this same issue and havent had a chance to troubleshoot it yet. Sorry, where is the "wall panel" that you guys are referring to?

it turned out to be a bad contact at the plug from the motor. the motor is located just forward of the back right wheel if you look under the van there is 3 bolts that hold it on. I was wondering if anyone knows what the coil is connected to the wires from the fan. It is just forward of the fan with 2 screws holding it into the shroud it looks like 2 springs soldered together.
