Question:

Does anyone know about the possibility of "Looking Thru" the side of that HVAC Duct ?
... using an Inspection Camera (ala Harbor Freight) and Drilling a Hole only Large enough to allow the camera access ??
without the need of removing the Dashboard ??


there is a snorkel access under the plastic cowl screen / cover on the passanger side.  pop the hood and remove wiper arm screen cowl cover.  its very outboard so to speak.  the opening is oval and about 3'' x 2''

or....

you can possibly enter through the floor duct openings,,

or......

remove the dash covering and go into any one of the dash vents

never used a camera system though.

You could pull out the blower motor resisters. Looks like they are down wind from the AC evaporator.
Turn the ignition off and:
DO NOT RUN THE BLOWER WITH THE RESISTERS PULLED OUT OF THE AIR BOX!! The resisters will over heat and may blow the thermal limiter.

if it does thermal, then a small hair of 26ga single strand of copper soldered in place would be the new fuse.  the limiters simply blow like a fuse anyway.

Wrong, the limiter will blow with the normal amount current draw if the air flow is not moving the resister heat away from the limiter.

Thanks !!

I do not believe this one has any type of "Thermal Imagine"... wish it did
This is only a very small Video Camera

You can run it on high though, right?

we are saying the same thing,, when there is a air mover fault the limiter will blow..  thats why the call out for 26awg or smaller to do a make shift repair
