Folks,
AC quit on me this am. AM drive started a little strange - when I first fired it up the AC fan didnt seem to be at full speed - after about a minute to increased and seems normal for a 40 min drive. When I restarted the car - fan was again at lower speed. Then quit - had a burnt electrical smell - so I switched it off. smell dissipated quickly (never saw smoke) drove home and parked. Now when I try to turn on the AC fan - nothing. So thinking switch/fan or a wiring short. Before I start trouble shooting - any BTDT?

update - should have also mentioned - doubt it's the switch as the condenser van still comes on with the switch.

test the motor

these need a fuse on them...are they fused?? I know porsche amended the later G cars to add a 15a fuse on the condenser and footwell fans.

It's in the smugglers box, open that up. The plug is easy to get at. Removing the fan/motor is a bit of a pain. here's a thread with some pictures if you're DIY. Definitely get the motor... before it fries other stuff.

well we all know its the magic smoke that keeps them running .. because once the magic smoke seems to get out they dont work anymore..

I think your motor is fried.. fryed ? fride ? ..... not working !
