I want to thank you for the great info. My blower motor wasn't working so I followed the steps outlined. I was surprised to find my cabin air filters completely filthy. Just to make sure the motor would turn, I gave it a spin and then turned on the power. The blower worked. Since I had gone that far I decided to change it anyway, since I didn't want to do this twice. My biggest problem was getting the weatherstrip to stay against the bottom of the windshield afterwards. With this kind of help available, I will be able to keep up with the demands of a 14 year old car and not spend my retirement money. Anybody need a used blower with fan?
thanks!
