Ac blower part number
Hi, I have a 2000 corvette auto climate control. Bought a replacement blower motor. A company sent me part number 52472569. Does anyone know if this is the correct part? Thanks.

In order to correctly identify which one you have, you need to remove the old one and use the number on the label to determine the replacement unit.
Note: the label part number on your old blower is NOT the part number for the replacement per se, as BOTH part numbers have changed from the original, but will help identify which replacement part number to buy.
The replacement unit will be either a 52487088 ("2nd design" w/original label number 52487086) or 19131212 ("1st design" w/original label number 52481316). The difference between the two may range from the design speed (voltage inputs, etc) of the particular blower itself, OR the location of the electrical connector or "pigtail" connector on some models, etc.

You MIGHT get a clue from your build date, if it's a very early 2000, etc. The 2000 MY started production in the June/July '99 time frame so you can look at your door sticker for the build date. Since I have no idea WHEN during the production run the change was made, going by the car's build date is not necessarily a 100% indicator, but it might be helpful, especially if it was built either very early (June/July/Aug - '99) or very late (i.e. Apr/May/June- '00, etc).
Worst case buy both and return the one you don't need.
Note: I saw where a couple aftermarket mfrs list only one part number, and I think they are going the one-size-fits-all route and include adapters or an extra long connector pigtail, etc. Roll the dice with them.
Me, I would order both and return the incorrect one. The AC Delco part numbers are: 15-8940 and 15-80664.

Thank you, the aftermarket one that was on there did have the long pigtail for a one size fit all. The one I bought with the part number I listed earlier has no pigtail just a spot to plug in and it actually is a perfect fit with the stock pigtail coming from the car. It does blow when I turn it on I'm just not sure it is the correct one. I will order the two you mentioned, thanks

Based on that, one would suspect you're probably in the "1st design" category but, as I said, not knowing the specific date(s) GM made the change itself, it's not necessarily 100%.
For sourcing, etc, I would look at Amazon and/or Rock Auto for AC Delco. One or the other generally has the best overall pricing.
