My heater fan in the last few weeks has sometimes not been going on right away but rather after a while. Is this normal?
Sometimes its on instantaneously, other times it goes on after a bit.
Usually when it is extremely cold.
Thanks!

Here is the link to how to fix it. It is actually the blower not the heater. I've got the same problem, I just haven't had a chance to do it yet. Mine went from intermittent to not working at all. Lucky I have heated seats.

Hope it works out for you.

Here is an update:
I was able to do the above procedure to fix the blower for my heater. It turned out to be very easy. The tricky part was removing the blower because of its location but once you get it out, you remove the housing then clean it up with sandpaper. I did an additional step by spraying a little bit of WD-40 and cleaning it up with a paper towel. Now it works like new.
If you have any questions or need any help don't hesitate to give us a call.

Thanks for the link, not experiencing that particular issue currently but it's never bad to have a knowledge base of potential fixes.

Thanks for all the info!
As it turns out, the motor is acting up and they will be replacing it under warranty.
Now. it totally makes sense what it is. When the motor doesnt go on, if I drive and it hits a bump it works. So something has gummed it up and if its cleaned i'm certain it would work great.
Hmm. I wonder if the dealership would give me the old motor??

It happened. My nightmare. My Smart car, Maxwell, was hit.
On my way home from work on Wednesday, January 13th, I was in a line of cars waiting for a red light (I was 5th or 6th in line) when I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a car coming up…
I've given out more than 200 of the pamphlets, but my dealer says they have less than a 1% return on those. It's going to take a lot more than viral videos on YouTube and current owners handing out info cards to get the kind of traffic that a well-t…
i'm seeing more smarts out and about as i drive here. my dealer has been calling me now and then, wanting me to trade my '08 for a new '09 or '10, seems they aren't moving as fast these days. i am getting tired of manually cranking the windows of my…

Have an MPG check done on your car by the dealer (free if you're inside the warranty). You will sit in the SMART showroom reading a book or magazine while the car is taken to Mercedes for the test. At the same time, they will upgrade the tra…
TnPD;
Please see my reply to Syna. What temperature is your A/C set to? Originally, I never paid attention to the Temperature setting, and just used the black A/C switch to turn the A/C ON/OFF (it has a little red light when ON). One hot Tampa day,…
Syna,
Then we're both suffering from an over-active imagination (hehe). My Smart is a 2008 Passion and has the same mileage as your car. I can also swear that it has more pep now than when I bought it. I agree with all your MPG figures, and have ma…
