HVAC blower fan upgrade

Shit... you should be able to stand upright and just reach under the dash and knock it out

 

Just received shipping information. Pretty accurate in timing.

 

Mine shipped today too

 

Anyone know best place to buy one now? Are the aftermarket alternative any good?

I LOVE interchangeable parts!!

 

The bearings aren't shielded?

 

While I have not checked the superseded part numbers, the old 60390 has a bushing for the lower shaft to rotate on. Some Sienna owners with the same brushless fan type (different part #) show it still has the bushing. They have gone so far as to replace it with a ball bearing… Time to pop open the newer LC version and see what’s in there.

 

I feel a bit silly asking this, but is this the right blower?

For some reason I’m having a hard time finding them in Canada, not paying $300 for a genuine Toyota one.
That blower is on rock auto for $165 cnd delivered.
Thanks!

 

I Just did this upgrade on my Sequoia and the new motor would not run. Then, when I put the old motor back in it wouldn't run either. On the 2021, I can't see any clear indication of an AC fuse on either of the under hood or under dash fuse blocks.

 

I guess I'm disconnecting the battery for this lol

 

The Sequoia is wired differently from the Tundra, + and - are reversed. Toyota changed the wire positions on the Sequoia so that motor would not be a direct swap into the Tundra, as it is already the brushless type. The second sentence in the first post makes note of this (just edited and made it the first). You will need to replace a fuse and unfortunately the new motor you have is likely no good. There was some discussion of this last year as another member attempted the swap.

 

Whoa, I have no recollection of the incompatibility. Thanks for making the edit!

After all the other things that are swap-able, not cool Toyota...

 

Thanks Jowett,

Now I just need to locate the fuse. I don’t see an AC fuse on either panel diagrams. Maybe they’re calling it something else.

Thanks again!

As @Jowett suggests, you may want to consult with @e30cabrio who is now skilled on this issue.

 

Finally got mine in, I think this is the most air this old truck has ever pumped! Maybe I'll even reinstall the cabin air filter

 

Look at you, using the schwartz.

 

Excuse me sir you'll have to use a reference 20-30 years newer that I understand

 

I really wanted to comment that it's not that old. But its basically a 38 year old movie!!!! That is crazy

 

Nearly a decade on me

 

So....48?

 

There's a cover under the glove box before you can get to the motor, is it screwed in or just push fit?

 

better?

 

Nevermind, you and I are obviously nowhere near the same wavelength when it comes to communicating

 

I swapped mine in a couple weeks ago. When I had them both out, I spun them by hand. The brushless one was definitely quieter, but I couldn't tell any difference once installed.

 

Tabs...

Here this illustrates it...
