The words “Colorado fan motor” leave two important questions open: which fan, and which vehicle configuration? The selected assembly here is the RG right-hand-drive cabin heater and air-conditioning blower. It is not the engine radiator fan.
The stated application is the Australian RG ute and cab chassis, 06/2012–12/2020. The earlier RC and left-hand-drive blower are outside that selection.
Read the reference and configuration together
The Colorado RG RHD cabin blower uses reference 8981394270, also written 8-98139-427-0. Its specification lists clockwise rotation and a rectangular two-pin connector.
Keep that rotation description with the exact product. A photograph does not define a viewing direction, polarity or test method, and a two-pin socket does not establish electrical interchangeability with another motor.
Compare the complete assembly, then the socket
Compare the white fan wheel, black mounting flange, cooling tube, connector and original reference. Start with the whole unit so a close-up socket can be traced back to the correct housing. Check mounting features from corresponding views rather than a cropped fan-wheel image alone.
If a feature is hidden on the original unit, ask the workshop for an accessible photograph. Do not identify an unseen connection by borrowing a photograph of a similar blower.
The motor package does not contain every airflow-control part
The offer contains the motor and fan wheel. The speed resistor, heater box and vehicle wiring are not included. State those boundaries when asking for a repair quote so the installer can determine any other requirements.
A complaint about airflow or speed does not by itself identify which component has failed. The existing blower-motor explanation covers the general role of the component; the workshop should establish the actual fault before ordering.
Make the fitment enquiry specific
Send the VIN, build month, RG identification, right-hand-drive confirmation, original reference and accessible photographs of the complete blower, tube, flange and connector. This guide supplies a selection checklist, not removal, wiring or live-test instructions.
