172 Race Car
Gray ive not had a close look at one but does the cup fan have a resistor pack on it/in it?
This is how blowers normaly work.
The interior fan switch supplies 4 different lives depending on what position the switch is in. These are wired to different parts of the resistor depending on the speed required.
On mine I found all the original lives at the plug. I didnt wire any of them up coz im only running it on one speed (For now, think that is a mistake tbh) I just found the wire that is live when the switch is in position 4 and wired it straigt to the motor (other side is just a simple earth)
Following this principle you can find out what wires are what speed and wire to the resistor.
If it doesnt have a resistor then you could get one off and old ford escort/.transit or similar. Very easy to wire up, just spade terminals. Only gives 3 speeds not 4 but thats what i will be using when the time comes

The set-up is near identical to the Ph-1 aircon blower.. The same green resistor pack, with the separate black and red wire that goes to the fan.
I will get some photos up tomorrow....
I know "how" it should work and "how" it should be re-wired... But knowing how it should go and me working that out are two very different things :S
Cheers for the info Burp, I shall be getting the multimeter out tomorrow!
But if you can get hold of a cup blower, they are perfect for us... all original fixing points, literally drops in.. and no more than 2KG

Success!!
Got the blower fitted and working correctly... after dicking around for an hour today I finally realised the reason
The connector pin for the postive connection (shown below) on the fan was bent, so was not going into the plug correctly :dead:
Do not know why I did not check/realise this earlier LOL!
So for future reference the 172 cup blower does plug straight in.
