98 breeze blower motor amps?

how many amps is two much for a blower motor with the 2.4 and ac
have blown the 2nd Blower Motor Resistor in 3 weeks first was OEM
anyone have a good guess for it ?

ps i also have to do a head gasket SOON, big oil leak is it a pain in
the ass to do , or just the 15 or so hours for me to do have only done
1 other head gasket before

thanks for any info

 

I don't know the amperage rating, but, on my Intrepid, when my resistor went
out, I put a new one in and it promptly went out. So I just replaced the
blower motor assembly. New resistor, no more problem.

Head gasket is not bad just time consuming. PS resivoir is a "B" Make sure
you get the new style 3 layer gasket & you are supposed to replace the head
bolts. Figure a long weekend
Check the rear lobes on the cams as the leak can cause inadquit oil to the
cam journals.

 

thanks for all the info
i knew about the new gasket but did not hear about the cam
pulled the blower today and it's kind of stiff not bad but not good so
i think i have to pop in a new one.

i wish i could get a .pdf file for the head gasket replacement steps
and not have to buy a $90 book... i know it's on a cd or book
so i just need that part

any idea where that might be found ?
thanks again everyone

i think i will do it in a week or so ....

 

You could spring for a www.alldata.com subscription ($25 for a year; $15
for any second vehilce or anual renewal) for your vehicle - should have
the procedure. Whatever it does have should be right out of the FSM
(i.e., not some aftermarket half-baked re-write).

Also - Bigger city libraries have FSM's.

I agree with Bill on this one. You will want to have a FSM or an
alldata subscription. Also, I would suggest taking the
head to a competent machine shop to re-surface if needed. They can also
replace any valves or springs if needed.
The new MLS "Multi-layered steel" headgasket is available from the
dealer. I don't know if it is available from the aftermarket yet.

The new gasket was put into production around Feb. 1999, at least that
is what I have been able to determine.
