Bad blower

[FrontRange4Runner]

2012 65k Still works fine. (knock on wood)

 

[LandCruiser]

Mine works noise-free and no failure at 13k, but experience is the same as many here: the blower has been weak since day one.

I remember a thread where a guy was having issues with multiple failed blowers and then abruptly ended the thread by stating the problem was finally resolved by using a Land Cruiser blower.

[MENTION=106556]alico268[/MENTION] is the Land Cruiser blower a drop in part like the replacement 4Runner blower, or does it require fitting/mods, and which model TLC is it from?

2014, 77,513 miles, no problems with air flow.

Interesting. If that's a drop-in upgrade, it would sure be worth while to be rid of our weaksauce blowers. Unless, knowing Toyota, they want two prices for a LC part, just 'cause.

Mine works "okay." Seems like it works hard (a lot of noise and not much airflow).

When I bought it certified used with 34,000 miles, it had a very loud hum/vibration. I told the service department. They said they found leaves in the fan motor. It hasn't made the hum/vibration since. Hope it stays "good".

...I wonder if there is an "aftermarket" or [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] modification that can be done to the blower...

I'm sure I could rig up a brushless motor in there and blow the vents right outta the dash, but I digress...lol,

I'm not quite sure the specifics as [MENTION=112919]Salvo[/MENTION] didn't elaborate but just stated his problem was resolved after a unit for a 100 series LC was used. It was post #40 in the following thread:

I'll shoot him a message and see if we can get him to chime in here.

I thought this would be a call out thread.

Carry on........:artist:

From his post in that thread I gathered that he had bought an entire 100 series LC, not just the blower motor

96r50 nailed it. I had been kicking around the idea of trading for a 100. The multiple blower failures were enough to inch me over the edge. Loved my 4R, just wanted another LC.

Jeesh, totally misread that. Color me red.

My air blower has died after a battery disconnect. I'm thinking it has something to do with computer but can't get it working.

I have checked all fuses. I can feel warm/cool air while driving passing through vents, but the fan doesn't work at any speed.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you.
