heater doesn't work after rebuild
When I bought my 1969 about a year ago, the heater core was bypassed, but the fan in the heater box worked. I took everything apart, painted, replaced heater core, and gaskets. I put it all back together and now the fan doesn't work. The wire in the engine compartment has 12 volts and the ground wire is attached. Any ideas?

Re: heater doesn't work after rebuild
Maybe you have a bad ground. If you have too much paint in the way. Also I noticed on mine it wasn't easy to get the power lead to plug all the way down on the contact.
I had a different but equally wierd problem. I put what was a good heater back in after a few months of sitting in storage and the core leaked. I guess it must have gotten kicked around too much. It's all fixed now. BTW..It's a lot easier to replace those cores if you drop the inner fender out of the way. Last edited by DB Smith; 10-27-2008 at 06:32 PM. |

Re: heater doesn't work after rebuild
Do you have both ground wires on there? The blower is metal, but mounted in a fiberglass box, so a 'jumper wire' of sorts is required.
*I know this for a/c ab, but it's been a while since I messed with a non a/c set up* |

Re: heater doesn't work after rebuild
I have non ac. I have 1 ground wire from the metal blower case to one of the upper bolts that bolts the fiberglass housing to the firewall. This is how it was when I took it apart. I figured when it threads into the firewall it would be an ok ground. I used a continuity meter to check ground. The bolt that goes thru the firewall rings continuity with all other grounds.

Re: heater doesn't work after rebuild
ok, I found the problem. Bad ground. I made a jumper for the ground and it starts. But it squeals really bad. Is there any way to lube it? What's the best way to run the permanant ground?
