I bought a 1979 SC a few weeks ago. It's in pretty good condition, generally. However, one little thing that I spotted when originally inspecting it is still bugging me.
There are a couple of loose electrical spade connectors on what I presume to be a blower motor, in the engine compartment. There is also a pair of loose sockets into which these connectors look as if they should fit.
I have not been brave enough to make this connection, because I suspect the disconnection may be intentional. In the history, there is a mechanics report "rear blower motor U/S".
The heating and ventilation actually seems to work pretty well without this blower. That's one reason why I've not fiddled with it, thus far.
I would like to know if anyone can tell me exactly what this blower is for. Also, does anyone know when these wires are supposed to be live, so I can test them?
I attach a close-up picture of the loose wires and a general view of the area of the engine compartment.
I also noticed that the big hose between this blower and the engine fan is a bit knackered. Is this worth replacing?
