Air, no! Heat, no! Help!!!

I have a motor if you would need one along with the whole heater assembly .

No, car never had ac. Thanks for the offer Jaketlong. I'll probably have a chance to get at it and see what I can figure out on Monday.

If you remove the glove box door ( Phillips screws by hinge with door open) there's a white duct to the far passenger side. There's two 10mm bolts holding it on/up. Remove those and it will give you access to where the leaves and debris are.

pm me if you are going to buy because I will forget that I said that haha

Today I got under dash and took out my glove compartment, main air duct and vent box, as well as the blower motor. The brushes are shot! Also have debris covering the magnets, coil, stator, etc.... I wanted to upload pics but every time I try it tells me I've exceeded kb limits. Never happened before, what do I need to do here?
Also wondering if anyone has ever replaced the brushes to their fan. If so was wondering what size I need. Looks like dremel brushes would work good.

To delete old pictures to make room for more:
Click on HOME, then click on your AVATAR picture, Then scroll down to the bottom of "MY SETTINGS" and click on "ATTACHMENTS" check the pictures you want to delete (note: you may have multiple pages of attachments),
go the bottom of your pictures and click on the little box in the lower right corner "Delete Selected".


Easiest thing is to create a photobucket account, upload your pictures there and then copy and paste a link from the photo you want to include in your thread post.

By the way thinks for the tip 1990new. Using photobucket to upload is much, much better.

Last night I was able to take apart an old shop vac that didn't work. Removed the brushes and filed them down to work in my blower motor. Sorry didn't get any pics of the cleaned up motor and new brushes. Filling them down was quite messy, lots of carbon fillings everywhere. This thread is done, thanks to all for the advice and help. I was able to remove the firewall plate to get at some debris thanks to my friend 1990new for that advice. All I need now is a new motor resistor so that the fan can work on all speeds, that thing is hard to find!
