Here is a side by side look at 2 electric fans, the one on the left is for a DI, the one on the right is for a 1993 Toyota Corolla.





The numbers on the back of the motors are exactly the same, the motors are the same size and the bolt pattern for the fan blade is the same.
Remove the blade, remove the motor from the housing, snip the connector off of your old motor and splice it onto the "new" motor.
Put the "new" motor into the DI housing and plug it in, turn on your a/c.
Check to make sure the fan is moving air in the correct direction, if not reverse your wires.
Electric motors will run in either direction depending on which way the power is hooked up.
If the fan is spinning the wrong way you will have wasted your time because the fan will not give you the desired effect.
The Corolla fan was $20 at a junk yard.
You can also buy just the fan motor at a autoparts store but that will be more expensive, still cheaper than a used DI fan though.
Hope this helps.

 

Spike, please make this a sticky in the tech section.

 

For my PT Cruiser, all I did was buy a new motor and swapped out all the parts. A new fan assembly was like $200 from the stealer. I think the motor was like $50 from RockAuto. That was 45k miles ago.....cheap and reliable. The OEM one only lasted 65k....

 

Or you can get the genuine Land Rover part from me for $39.99 and not have to bother with deconstructing, reconstructing and splicing. I guess it comes down to how much you value saving $20.

 

And then there's that

 

I could not find a used OEM fan for less than $150.
But then again I did not check with Paul.

 

I don't know why? I've only been parting out Rovers for about ten years. I promise I won't bite.

 

Adigerol it already is. Aux fan part number write up.

 

Air flow note:

"If the fan is spinning the wrong way you will have wasted your time because the fan will not give you the desired effect."

And how! It will actually cause you much grief. The AC will go very high head pressure on the compessor, and cooling falls off to zip at idle. The engine will overheat at idle, even on a 75 degree day. With electric fans blowing one direction, and radiator fan blowing another, things just don't "add up". Will be OK while driving. Final test - with only AC fans running, a wimpy plastic bag held in front of the grille should be pulled toward the grille. Ditto when engine is running.

 

Which Corolla, which engine, there are several? Is it the radiator fan motor or A/C fan motor?
