If it's not one thing, it's another.
My 90MTX was running hot. Radiator ended up busting a seam due to age and
corrosion, etc. Made for a lot of excitement when it went. Anyway,
replaced the rad. Car is running nice and cool as long as it's moving. In
traffic, it heats up.
Put the A/C on MAX, fan didn't come on. Unplugged the wiring harness from
the fan motor at the IRCM. Switched on A/C to MAX, VOM shows voltage going
out of the IRCM to the fan. Cleaned contacts on connection. Still no joy
with fan.
I'm guessing the brushes are shot. Seems to be a common problem. So far,
all I've been able to turn up is a replacement fan, motor, and shroud from
FPN for $200. If anybody knows of any alternatives, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for y'alls help.
