will probably call greg at inland this afternoon, we've got good weather today...thanks will ask for Greg...

[AIR-Quarius]

Ok, we called Greg and he told us some pointers..we installed the new motor which had two wires (black and red(hot)) coming from it...then we went inside and revealed this...my hand holding these wires..that lead to the switch (pushclick button) the wires with the yellow cap are still right there not really knowing what they were...also the old motor-the wires coming out of it were burnt/melted...NOW WHAT!

[bibbs]

the red black w/yellow wire nut feeds power to the switch hook the new motor to the

white [-] and black from switch[+] sounds like the old motor cooked.You could test

your switch, with a test light or a volt meter to prove that you have power and that

your switch works.Good luck

Thanks bibbs we'll be looking into this tomorrow.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...well we sort of stopped right at attempting to hook up wires...nothing coming on yet...Are there any diagrams available...Greg said to leave those two wires capped in the middle (red and black) and we hooked up according to his instructions but nothing happenned yet. so if Andy or Greg comes back to this' please add any other tips. and this goes for the rest of anyone that might know...I am sure its got to be something simple and right under our noses...lol

One of the motor wires goes to ground.

The other motor wire goes to the switch.

The wire on the other side of the switch goes to 12 volts DC.

Perhaps a fuse is gone.

OK, I'm curious that this thread died without resolution. Did RedhawkerII ever get his fan to work? Did he buy and install a new fan without ever checking to see if he had fire in the first place? RHII are you out there?

In my 65 caravel, I had 2 wires and no fan. I went to northern hydraulics and bought a 5" computer server fan( $6), made some mounting tabs to fit the pipe, hooked up a switch and it sucks like a champ. most of those computer fans are 12V already. joq q in minnesnowda

Plastic fans that are in the stove exhaust vent, usually overheat and burn up in short order.

They are not intended to exhaust heat.

very good point, Andy! Please note that mine was a surplus 5" computer SERVER fan! much more heavy duty than a desktop fan and ALUMINIUM blade and frame!! made for constant running!!! keep up the good works. joe q

sorry to have dropped out of the picture..we wanted to be sure and today hired a fellow that is a backyard electrician and will pay hima little to hook it up...stay tuned and we will tell you what happenned....But there may be a problem with the push on and off button too....stay tuned!

[AIR-Quarius]

well, the backyard electrician plus two calls to inland rv (talked to Greg) and we finally got it hooked up....just from me watching all this...seems one white wire coming out of the wall did not function so we capped it...this all took just about all day to do. So now another part of the airstream is rendered fixed. But it did take a lot of thinking and figuring where all the wires went to and from. Next we will seal the cover shroud outside and screw it back down. ....whew! All that watchin made me tired! ha!
