I just got a non A/C heater box out of the junkyard, came from an S10. I had to cut away some of the flange and bang the backside of my fenderwell in just to get the thing in there, and now i can't get it to work, whats going on here? I already took the coil lookin thing out of my old one and installed it in my new one, hooked up the other purple wire, and it started to smoke when i turned it on. SO then i tried just putting my old motor in the new box, well the new box is too shallow, so i tried switching the fan blades on the motors and using the old motor, but it's still about 1/4 inch too deep for the box. When i connect it with the box away from the wall, it still does not work. What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks for any help you can give me...

Eric

 

TTT no one has any ideas?

 

sounds like you either

A. fried the motor from the s10,

B. blew a fuse, cuz the s10's motor was bad to begin with.

C. every 18 months or so my car will melt the connector on a wire that apparently powers the fan motor. i believe it is a gray or brown wire, and its located behind the radio area.

don't ask me why it cooks the wire, it just does, if i could figure it out i would fix it.
