Auxiliary cooling fan death/rebirth

I am not exactly sure the function ...but it did not work. The motor ran but the fan blade was stationary. My mechanic did not have the time, so in my 'what-it-is' fashion I replaced it.

It turns out the shaft had a horizontal pin like the crossing of at lower case T to drive the blade. The original longer exists (see red arrow) so there was no drive. (I am not sure what had been on the frontend of the blade - nothing when it came out.)

The OEM P/N gets you a runaround. But, Amazon has warehouses of perfectly suitable substitutes for, I suspect, a fraction of the original list ...$34.

It fits flush in nearly the same footprint (it is the same blade size) as the OEM. It took me about 2 hours because I had to stop and think a lot.

Hi Jim..I know its been about a year since you posted this but I just bought my Winnie last week..96 Vectra...and while checking out the non-functioning cabin AC, we found this fan wasn't working. Motor smokes! Had a hard time finding anything with the manuf. P/N listed "WCSI P/N 24-2196A". Was this the same you had? Trying to find a suitable replacement.

Hi, Matt... Ya, a year at 76 is like a decade. C'hit, I don't know the original P/N? My instincts are 'any OEM' P/N comes with enough markup to support the Royal family and the big wide world is happy to make you a 'similar' for pennies by comparison. I looked at the space the old one occupied and simply bought

About 4yrs ago I cut a hole in a 40' shipping container and mounted a 9"er attached to a garden battery which was fed by an old charger. I ran it 24/7. It quit sometime last winter. It was like $20-30.
