I'll try this again...in the correct section.
Hello all. Just bought a 1996 <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; color: darkgreen;" id="itxt_nobr_0_0">4x4</nobr> with SEVERAL issues. I guess I'll start a thread for each, or is it better to ask them all in one thread?

On my drive home last night with it after purchase from an individual, I noticed that the front fan only works on High, and makes a horrible noise at first.

Don't know if it matters or not, but I also don't have any heat coming from the front. Seems to be blowing out the rear controls warm, but not the front.

I read somewhere that maybe a resistor is out on the fan?

Just looking for somewhere to start the investigation. I have tools and a multimeter, just not use to <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; color: darkgreen;" id="itxt_nobr_4_0">Chevy's</nobr>.


Thanks.

 

definitely sounds like a combination of a worn fan motor (noise) & bad resistor.....both relatively EZ fixes....

 

That's what I was figuring. Figured out also that the heater core is leaking. On to the next problem.

 

ugh...I LOVE doing heater cores...with me, they generally fail at THE WORST possible time (winter)....good luck....
