Hi Guys
Is anybody running a Delco Blower motor in their 740s?
Well,on the recently acquired 90 740 GLE 16 valve the blower motor was running fine till last week when it stopped.Fuse,motor all are ok after pulling them out and checking them.I found the culprit as being the connector(female housing part)that connects into the male housing (in the motor ).The 2 metal connectors inside the plastic housing are rusty,completly destroyed. I have been trying to get this connector/housing at local,away(FCPGroton) auto parts,boneyards without any success.It looks to me that the motor or connector are not original(?)as the wires(2)leading to the connector seem to have been mended 6/7 inches above it.I don't think I'll have much success at a dealer,either...
Does anybody know where to get one of these with 2 wires attached (so I can mend
them)? Connector housing is white plastic 1"X1" about.Housing is the female side.However the inside metal connectors are the male side of spade type connector.
Tks for any kind of help.

Not clear which side is bad, Male on the motor or female connector, but if the connector is bad, will using seperate female spade terminals work? Maybe a bit awkward to put on but with a needle nose pliers you could get them in there, Spades come in different sizes.
If the male in the motor terminals are bad, I'd try to disassemble the motor and get the wires which run to the back of the terminals and splice some wire and then run them out of the fan housing and put terminals to mate with the connector.
OR I got a used fan from the junkyard for $20, get the connector with it and splice in.

Why not just splice the wires? That's how mine are.
