Motor Brushes
Mood:  on fire
Attention Fools......
when you replace blower brushes, you replace all of them, not some.
Yes, sometimes you can get a motor to run by replacing one or two of the brushes. But it
will only run long enough to get the bus out of your hair. Then it will go roadfail again somewhere else.
Everyone wants to bitch about not making enough money, not having good enough benefits, not having new equipment....the reason why is because the company doesn't have the money to hand us, stupid shit like this is why. Maintenance costs are high because of fools that do things like replace two out of four brushes. Roadfailures are expensive.

We are here to prevent roadfailures , not cause them.
If a motor has 4 brushes, replace all 4, if it has 2, then replace both.
You are already in there working, so why not go on and do it right.
Case in Point, the coach that failed at our location today, no a.c., condensor motor inop, 2 brushes were like new, 2 were old and worn out. I replaced all 4, it took about 20 minutes.

I won't name the location that made the repair, but it is one of those that is always getting free pay checks. There is no good reason for half assing a condensor motor brush replacement. The only reason is laziness. And stupidity. The thing that really burns my ass is that in their MCMS comments, the mechanic says he replaced all four. A bold faced Lie. Is there anything in the world worse than a Lazy Liar ?? Is there any pride left in the world ?
