Fusible link deal and no blower motor

Blower started working intermitantly on the 400E so I did a search and as far as I went, it looked like the control unit was suspect. I tore it out of the car, inspected for bad solder joints, could find none, cleaned it and put it back in the car. Still no workee. Tried the unit out of the TE in the 400,,, still no good. Pulled the wiper assembly out of the 400, put 12 volts to the blower motor, and it worked fine. Went back in the house, searched a bit more and came upon the fusible link deal in front of the fuse box. Sure enough, it had a crack in it and was making contact some time. The 1 minute fix took me about 4 hours, but the site saved me again. Thanks to all,,, and my wife thanks you too. Really makes me look like a hero some times. Next time I will read all the posts in the search before I start tearing things apart.
