New Cascadia front blower motor inop

New Cascadia front blower motor inop Mar 31, 2020 7:57 PM

We have a customer that has had several New Cascadias complaining the blower motor will quit

working for a few hours and come back on. We have never been able to duplicate it in the shop.

Finally got a chance to look at one while it was messed up. FCU was not communicating. Found

we were missing GND-C at the FCU. Ended up finding a bad splice in the main dash harness. The

FCU GND-C comes straight off a splice of a main GND-C instead of the GND-C splice pack in dash.

Cut splice open and found the wire broke. Not sure yet if this is the issue all of his trucks are having.

Nice find there Patrick. Was the splice crushed?

No it wasn't crushed. I'm still having complaints with team drivers on the New Cascadias where the bunk hvac

will override the cab hvac while driving down the road. Still unable to duplicate the complaint.

Check out the blower power an ground 3 pin connector. Have seen 2 burnt up real bad. Must have been

spread from factory and burnt up. Load tested and had good voltage drop.

Been seeing the terminals melt on the big three pin connector as well mostly in the dash but did have one in

the LH kick panel for the sleeper blower. I have been debating it is spread terminals or plugged recric filters

causing a draw.

Re: New Cascadia front blower motor inop Sep 17, 2020 11:26 PM

Plugged air filter will actually cause less draw. Takes less power to move less air. Kind of a weird

concept to grasp but it’s true. If you take a vacuum cleaner and plug the hose it will draw less

current. The motor will get hot because it requires air flow to cool it. So plugged filter could

cause the actual blower terminals to melt. Not the jumper harness terminals though.

Re: New Cascadia front blower motor inop Sep 18, 2020 12:01 PM

yup, good point, a plugged filter causes a vacuum which means less molecular density in the air to cause

resistance against the blower fins
