Just a Great Big Thank you from a NEWBIE!
 
I was driving today in -30 celcius and my blower quit on me....I went to 2 service shops here, one dealer, one independent and neither wanted to help without a diagnostic charge which is normal i guess but in this case i was thinkng it was a fuse...they checked em and said it was the blower motor and about a grand to fix.....well I checked this wonderful Forum for blower motor and found a number of things to check...i checked said parts and was able to fix it in 74 seconds give or take 5, and for $0.00! I now have heat and can continue to enjoy my car. I know it is rather insignificant but just felt I should tell you all how great this forumm really is!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

hmmm....i know the invoice is here somewhere....
 
ummm...send the bill to my dealer:D
But seriously folks.....

THANKS


Diagnosis:
(and please don't laugh when you hear this, after all the techs couldn't/wouldn't figure it out)

The external fuse to the blower motor was broken. The fuse was not listed on the fuse cover and i found the info here...went to the dealer, picked up a new one ( with a big grin and in a MATTER OF FACT:o kind of way told them I had fixed it...they felt rather dumb:rolleyes:

Good luck to all and I hope I can be as valuable a member to all of you here as you have been to me.
