Problem with AC/Heater Blower Fan
I have a problem with my blower motor that I need help with. My car is a 1993 Honda Civic Si HB with 88,000 miles on the body. The engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and ECU are from a 1997 Type-R and have 30,000 miles on them. I also have AEM True Power under drive pulleys for the power steering and alternator.
The problem that I am having is that the blower fan on my AC/Heater does not work all the time. When I start the car up it usually doesn't work. If while I am driving I turn the car off and then back on (while I am rolling) sometimes the blower fan will start working. When the blower fan is working it blows cold (if AC is on) or hot (if heater is on) air and works great. When I go to work in the morning the turn off and then back on again trick usually works every time on the first try. Later in the day when it is hotter it usually does not work until several tries. The fan has no other problems. It works at all blowing levels and once it is on it does not ever shut off unless I turn it off.
The only theory I have right now is that the blower fan is operated by some sort of relay switch. When the car is started this relay switch does not get energized because the car has an under drive pulley and does not provide enough power. This theory is a long shot because I do not know how the AC/Heater fan works.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be? Anyway willing to scan or email me the debugging section for the blower fan in a HELMS manual? I have a HELMS manual for the car but I cannot find it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
