So I ran the diagnostic tools. I get error B1234 -- sun sensor, which I know I can ignore. While reading out these codes, the recirculation button light was blinking constantly. Not sure what that means...?

Then I took two readings of the first eight values -- one right at startup (left number) and one three minutes later after driving a few blocks (right number):

#1) 32 32
#2) 33 30
#3) 19 18
#4) 19 18
#5) 17 07
#6) 85 85
#7) 14 09
#8) 55 33

For the first set of numbers, the diagnostic says my freon is low. Dubious, as I added some several weeks ago, and before the blower went out the car was as cold as it had ever been. I could add some more but don't want to overcharge. Is there a safety switch for low freon? If so, I wouldn't hear the compressor kicking on and the evaporator hissing a tiny bit -- I think those switches are designed to cut out the compressor, not the blower fan.

For the second set of numbers, the diagnostic says my duovalve or mixer flap is stuck. I checked out the duovalve back when I had low freon and it was fine at that time.

Nothing about the blower motor, which at this point isn't running at all.

Does that info help you guys?! Thanks again!

Cheers, John
