Root cause insight into the common BMW blower motor resistor failures
Seems we have a wealth of morons here. Don't post with your f u c k i n g opinion, post with an ANSWER. Opinions are like a s s h o l e s. Everyone's got one, most all of them stink! Idiots...

I only plan on keeping the car for another year (e60) and I am on my 3rd (and yes, the last one was with a new Behr motor at the same time). I did notice a good deal of carbon on the power lead and did clean that up before reinstall but it still failed again. My Stupid Question: Is there a speed at which would limit the damage.

My intuition says, "Run max so that no resistance is 'required,' but I'm probably missing something. Thank you, (signed) Your Humble Moron. Not missing anything. High speed removes the resistors from the equation totally. I SUSPECT the problem is a poor connection to the resistor block causing more heat that it was designed for - the "carbon" on the connection re-enforces that opinion. Solder the connector to the pin of the resistor. Alsocheck to make sure there is nothing inside the duct blocking airflow to the resistor. I remember a "fix" on some vehicle a few years back that involved making a sheet metal "scoop" to redirect air across the resistor more effectively. Another "fix" is to install a PWM variable speed controller - well heat sinked, to control the speed instead of the resistor. Possible to install multiple pre-set controllers to "mimic" the resistor and make the stock control functional if you wanted to keep the car for a long time - or to use the switch to switch calibration resistors to the PWMinstead of switching load current. |

If you don't want to go over to de.rec.autos, then why don't you write to the boys in Bavaria and ask them about it?

One is at the higher speed there is less voltage drop across the transistors, so less heat is generated. The other is more air flow over the cooling fins. |
