    BlueZ Oldie but a goodie

    I don't know if this is a tech but I've done a write-up on some work I did on the little fan for the climate control head temperature sensor. Mine hasn't been working well for some time so I decided to see what I could do about it.Here's the articleK-Zed, this is what you need to do.
    Ben, as usual, grab a copy for the tech section if you want.
    See Ya,

    Excellent write-up Garry:YD>>

    Only thing I would change is the lubrication for the fan. I believe it is better to place a very thin smear of Petroleum Jelly, or Vaselene, on the pivot points of the fan spindle (it actually has less "drag" than even the lightest oil, and is less likely to throw off at speed.)Cheers mate

    I have done this Rob >>

    some 12 months ago, when my fan failed to operate.:`(
    What Lloyd said about using Petroleum Jelly, works really well.:D
    You might have to back off the spindle screw to the fan just a little to get it right. It takes time to set it just right before putting it back together & is very tedious.=)

    Great artical Garry >>

    like the pictures as well.:YD
    When I did mine, I had only a text artical, so the photo's that you've provided makes it a lot clearer to the avid home handy man.
    Well Done :YD :YD :D :D
    Cheers mate

    You could also replace the fan with a.......

    12v computer fan; the type that sits on CPU coolers.
