Blower went out on me...
 

Kind of a random question but instead of getting tons of speculation over on m.net I thought I'd ask you guys first. Anyway, I go to turn on my heat last night and I get nothing from the blower....heat comes on and creeps out after a while but nothing from the blower. I also noticed my windshield wipers dont wanna come on just after I crank up the car but I'm not sure if that's in anyway related. Thoughts? Ideas? :facepalm:

Interesting. I have the same thing happen from time to time. I searched around for a related common ground. I noticed that if I restarted the car, 50% of the time both would simultaneously work. I then noticed that if I stated the car and they both did not work, and then I turn off the car, and if I then turn the key to the "on" position, (but did not start the car), they would usually work.

I read that if you keep a lot of keys on your car key ring, the weight of that can mess up the cyclinder. I think that is my issue. I now only keep the miata key on the keychain. And, I know if my blower and wipers don't run when I start the car initially, I can usually get them to work by restarting the car or even slightly moving the key in the ignition.

Give it a try. It worked for me.

Holy Siht...I cant believe it but this actually worked. I just wiggled it around then urned it to the on position and turned on the blower and it came right on along with the windshield wipers. Great FYI. Thanks so much!

:bowrofl:

This actually just happened to me this morning for the first time. What a timly topic. :laugh:

As a noob, now I feel like I contributed something meaningful and de-noobed myself a bit.

Glad it helped.

Yeah, I second the key ring thing. I was about to go yank my blower out. Funny how it is tied together.

I've had it happen a few times...... Guess now we know its typically the Ign switch!

Lol wtf
