Hello all. While tracking down a vacuum leak in my HVAC system, I came across an electric motor behind my glove box that has a mini squirrel cage and what looks to be a cool air hose going to the blower motor. I did not lay eyes on where it connected to. I did find the little motor stuck and will need replacement. Am I correct on the purpose for it's existence? Is it critical to replace it? Or is it one of those German over engineering things? It appears that it has not worked in quite a while.
