Hello everyone,
Since I bought the car 2 weeks ago, it makes a buzz sound inside the climate control unit panel, where the sampler fan is located.
The fan is activated all the time from the moment you turn ignition ON, and it's quite loud.
Yesterday I removed the center dash panel to access the fan and eventually change the 5 bulbs.
When I turn the fan with the hand it makes a tic tic sound that clearly shows the bearing is dead. What can I do to fix this? The thing is completely soldered and I cannot find any spare parts even on RS components website. If I can save it I would prefer, because it works. I will clean the whole PCB and then, is it possible to lubricate without damaging the circuits ?
I searched here if someone had the same issue, and I found some information :
- It's possible to replace the fan by another similar, but you need to solder the supply wire in another place of the PCB. I didn't find where? Maybe 2 of the 4 pins of the small PCB on which one the fan is located? How to remove the old one without damage ?
