Well, it appears that the electric condenser fan motor on my rig has died. It was working a month ago when I recharged my A/C system, but no longer.

I get 12V at the electrical connector when I turn the A/C switch on in the cab. Applying 12V directly to the motor results in no action. The resistance reading thru the motor is ~5.6M ohms. Verdict: dead motor.


www.mitsubisiparts.com has the following bad news:

Item Number List Price
MB878162 $346.68 $249.61
Hvac - Air conditioner - Condenser - Fan motor
FAN MOTOR, Montero 1995 - 2000

$250 (discounted!) for that puppy?? Arrgh.

Any thoughts as to a better price for one. Failing that, what is everybody's favorite online used parts place?
