I have recently purchased a '83 320i that had a faulty blower motor. The previous owner had removed the faulty blower motor and gave it to me in a box along with other miscellaneous hardware he had kept. I have removed the fans from the old faulty unit, marked the correct installation depths on the new fan (from the corrosion marks), checked the new motor's operation in the car and am ready to reinstall.
My question for everyone is "Does anyone have a picture of the blower motor installed in the housing that shows the orientation of the blower motor?" I am specifically looking for which side the armature and electrical connections are located on (drivers or passengers side) and what is the correct orientation of the fan blades? The fans were easily removed and had corroded impeller shafts so I am going to assume that the previous owner had removed them before and I do not want to trust that he had placed them back on the correct sides.
Thanks
