bullnose1985 Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 oh and i found it doing this because the heat did not work nor did the radio. wiggle the key and all good. now where did i put the bag of ignition switches? Thank you mat in tn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullnose1985 Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thank you mat in tn. Update my friends. I ended up using a converter and a heat gun. Lol. It worked. Thank you all for your help it is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Update my friends. I ended up using a converter and a heat gun. Lol. It worked. Thank you all for your help it is greatly appreciated Converter = inverter? Meaning 12v dc to 120v ac? That should do it! On the resistor pack, there is a thermal limiter in the line and when it blows it appears like the resistors are bad. The limiter looks a bit like a diode, so check your resistors ahead of it.

Hi Gary, Yes inverter rather my apologies. As that say a pictures are worth a thousand words.these pictures where taken after cleaning. I am getting tired and going to have to hit the hay. I will talk to you guys tomorrow. Thanks for everything Gary. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for everything Gary. I have a tip related to that resistor. Puddles the 86 suffered a burnt one a few years back, due to leaves and tree detritus accumulated in there. Smelled like a campfire in the cab one morning. I kept back burnering an idea I had to put a screen across the slots of the cowl. Never got to it, but I would tape off the cowl if parking under oak trees in fall. Then we bought Farm Truck, our first Bricky. I spied its improved cowl. It fits a Bully, and keeps out leaves much better. But the secret is out, as many Bricknoses in junkyards have a missing cowl. We've switched to a buy-entire-parts-trucks approach, because we are fortunate to live rural and have acres. At this point we have enough cowls to equip all our Bully trucks with a Bricky cowl. No more burnt resistors. FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat in tn Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Big Blue is sporting one of the pin cushion cowls. Works great. pay attention on the resistor. it has multiple resistors to create three different speeds, but it also has a thermo-fuse crimped in there too. you cannot see if is blown it must be checked for continuity on its own . either way it requires a replacement unless you are willing to replace it. fiddly and needs to be crimped and not soldered but still doable .

No more burnt resistors. FYI Hi Reno, I was kind of surprised I only found one pine neddle in the blower fan compartment and nothing but a shot resistor asy in the other opening. I will probably convert it to a single speed via a relay. I like to keep things as simple as possible when possible. This is one of those times. I may have to look for a pin hole intake cover.

Hi mat in tn, Oh yeah its shot, ohm and continuity zero it is toast. I cleaned and re smashed the crimps nothing worked. I am going to turn it in to a single speed fan tomorrow.
