Blower motor connectors

I have had problems with the blower motor working intermittently on my 2006 3500 158. After inspecting the connector, I found that the wires right before the connector are melted and need to be replaced. I am looking for either the whole pig tail or I am open to depinning the connector and making a new wiring harness with new pins. Has anybody been able to find a part number for the replacement pins for the connectors or a pigtail for this connector?

Just a tip: I spend a lot of time driving, and whether Ford or sprinter, I had problems with an old motor having too much resistance and frying the wiring

Might not be a bad idea for a new motor, to make the repair last...

Some members, such as MillionMileSprinter, are happy to pull parts from their back lots full of "parts" Sprinters.

You can use the Forum's private message system to inquire.

I may be having the same issue. It's not the resistor, as it stops working completely for a bit, then resumes again in my 2005.

I will definitely look at the motor resistance when I do the repair and compare it to my other van to make sure the resistance of the motor is correct.

I looked at the wiring harness and right above the connector you could see where the insulation of the wiring was melted. Simply wiggling the harness while connector was attached to the motor with the switch turned to high would turn the motor on and off.

We don't need no stinkin' OEM connectors on our 13+ year old T1N Sprinters.

Chop off the connectors and add some tails with crimp connectors. Observe proper wire mating and make the body side tails long enough that you can chop and splice in the future (if ever needed).

I agree with AP. The motor terminals are actually 1/4" spade sized. You will likely need to put some heat shrink on them for insulation, bu female spade terminals will do the trick. Don't get positive/negative mixed up though, as the blower output won't be nearly as good.

That's what's going on with mine I replaced the resistor and blower motor but the pigtail that came with my kit was incompatible on the wire harness end I'm trying to find a solution for it without cutting it.

Vince - you have posted in three related threads with different information in each. If you are asking for help, doesn't it make sense to provide all the information in one location so those who might have opinions can have the benefit of having all your information before them in one place?

I would note that your newly acquired fan must not have been compatible at least with regard to the connector. I also acquired a third party supplier fan that was Sprinter compatible, thus no problem with the connector. So buyer be aware.

Intermittent running due to worn brushes
I also found on one of my rebuilds DIYer error

I tried wiggling the wiring harness under the hood, but it had no effect. When I turn on the AC and set the fan to max, the blower does come on, but its output is much weaker than the usual fan performance.

It comes on by itself- example leave the fan on you know one two three or four driving down the road then all of a sudden it engages- blower motor resistors all new

I had this. Finally fixed by replacing the dash unit. Built in to that are the relays for the fan.
