BB-under seat heater motors

Anyone yanks theirs out and care to part with a couple?

I have the entire assembly that has two fans on it from a 97 Thomas.

Hmmmm...I would think the motors would be the same as a BB?

They should swap. Seriously: they need power, ground, coolant flow, and to be securely mounted. Can't be that much different brand to brand! Heck, they might actually be the same heaters.

Right, I dont need the heaters, just the fan motors....but they should be the same....one would think. :/

I would think so too; when I was looking for a replacement fan motor for the defrost fan upfront, I was surprised with the variety of different models that were available. My fan motor was seized up a little. I was able to disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble it and so far it’s still working. However it is in pretty rough shape, so I don't expect too much more life out of it.

If you have fans and they are just not working well or seized up it might be worth breaking them down and cleaning them.

I’ll look for the model/brand when I get a chance, however the unit as a whole worked well before I removed it so I really don’t want to just pull the motors out of it.
