Why does the heater start to crackle in the car in the fall?

No problems all summer, but if necessary – so on you: the heater broke down. It also crackled, crackled and calmed forever. Perhaps it was worth checking and dismantling the moment the first symptoms appeared? Good sound comes naturally! The editorial Mitsubishi Lancer from the AvtoVzglyad portal will not let you get bored, but will teach you the correct, reasonable handling of a used car.
Outside the window “turned on” November and its characteristic weather conditions, when the rain is already alternating with snow. Sad and cold – such a season. Drivers change their tires, turn on the stove and start the morning with autostart to immerse themselves in the warmth of a cozy cabin. At this awkward moment, the ordinary stove, making a sharp crack, suddenly showed no sign of life.
This is exactly what happened to the Mitsubishi Lancer editorial, which is celebrating its coming of age with pomp and circumstance – in a figurative sense of the word. From the moment of purchase, there was no doubt that the well-deserved wagon, lacking sensible care and competent professional treatment from its birth, would provide us with an unprecedented sea of lessons and knowledge, so we continue to “carry our crosses” and learn to live in a world of used and widely used cars.
The window is fogged up, in the cabin – about zero, you ride like a motorcycle. Covering yourself with a blanket and putting on rags to permanently remove “sweat” from the windshield or fix the problem once and for all? The first version of the test failed, let’s move on to the second – replacing the heating motor, which is located “at the feet” of the front passenger and regulates the airflow. The problem is easy to locate, it is important to understand the cause so as not to step into the same puddle twice.
Disassembly presents no problems: they removed the glove box, two clips from the lower case, three self-tapping screws, only the last of which makes you sweat, and here it is, the culprit of our problems. It looks clean and tidy, quite fresh, but the inscriptions and numbers on the case suggest that we still have a factory part that has never been changed. Original! So why did he “deflate” by making a loud bang?
After dismantling the assembly, we see both the cause of the unpleasant noise and possible, we emphasize, traces of its death. There were crackling leaves and twigs – literally – that had pushed themselves enough into the fan. To be fair, you could build a fire from such an amount of undergrowth and heat it up. However, they could not become the reason for the repair – only to provide “audio inconvenience”. Best before? Has the source run out?
This question would hang in the air if not a characteristic stain on the connection. Oxidation of the wires on both pads confirms the argument: The current windshield supplied enough H2O to the gutter casings that the electrician started to fail. We will dry the car and the “plywood” will be additionally sealed, we simply have no other choice.
The heater motor is located in an easily accessible place, and its disassembly takes no more than half an hour, so periodically (for example, once a year) it must be removed to clean and lubricate the contacts. Shaking out the garbage, removing a thick layer of dust from the fan, spraying the cleaner into the contact group is quite a feasible task, despite the fact that the real saving in our case would be a significant 15,000 rubles. Live and learn.
