Do not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation of the Suzuki Samurai. Heating and air conditioning are systems that offer the possibility of lowering or increasing the air temperature. The first with the help of the heat produced by the engine, and the other with a fluid refrigerant . Ventilation is the totality of channels and devices that give the opportunity for air to get inside. The essential element will be kicker which propels the air inside your cabin. In the event that the air arrives very little, if at all, it is probably a ventilation problem. We will see within this file how a breakdown works, so as to better identify the problems and understand how to solve it.
How does ventilation work on a Suzuki Samurai
Ventilation initially serves to regenerate the air in the passenger compartment of the Suzuki Samurai. As for the blower, the latter generally consists of a resistor, a turbine, and a motor. The more the total resistance of the circuit is lowered, the faster the turbine runs. By turning the button in the passenger compartment, the resistance is reduced.
Suzuki Samurai: common ventilation problems
Dirty air ducts
If the ventilation works but a small amount of air arrives in the interior of the Suzuki Samurai, it is likely that these air flaps are blocked. With the aid of screwdriver flat, do not hesitate to remove the air shutter covers. It is only necessary to check inside if these are blocked. If this is what is happening do not hesitate to clean them, as well as the shutters.
Dirty cabin filter
If you perceive fumes and this ventilation lacks intensity, the problem certainly comes from the cabin filter of the Suzuki Samurai. This becomes blocked and accumulates bacteria with the years. It is really common that it is dirty, it is there to purify the air that reaches you. There is no manufacturer's instruction on when to change it. We simply advise you to remove it, check its condition. If it is particularly dirty, it will need to be replaced.
Resistance of the blower HS
If the ventilation controls on your Suzuki Samurai malfunction, if at all, it is certainly due to the resistance. This resistance allows to raise the voltage in order to increase the speed of the turbine. A strange malfunction of this ventilation is probably linked to a resistance problem. This microchip is difficult to repair. It will have to be replaced.
HS blower motor
There are two relatively recurring problems with the kicker. The brushes may be damaged. Over the years, they can wear out and generate electrical faults. Your fan could spin very randomly, and even not work at all. It also happens that the problem stems from bearings of the fan motor. If the ventilation produces a hissing sound, comparable to a rusty mechanism, it can happen that the bearings require lubrication.
