When you take it apart to oil it do NOT turn the wheel backwards.

I did not pay close attention when I was working on the big blower (what a hassle!), but I thought this rubber hose went to the small vent on the passenger side (???). I was reading the FSM and other posts and got completely turned around. But, what you write makes the most sense. I will take it out next weekend and clean it. I hate to have to get a new one. I am having lost of odd behavior with the HVAC.
  1. The defroster vents do not open up, except one time when I was fiddling with the blower. (Might it be a leaky vacum hose?)
  2. No heat at HW speeds (monovalve, apparently?)
  3. Compressor comes on when the EC button is pushed on (Climate control module? Some of the lights on it don't come on right. I have pulled it out and cleaned it thoroughly with contact cleaner. Auto works quite well)
  4. The blower can't seem to make up it's mind when it is not on auto (vacuum hoses again??)
So, I have lots of troubleshooting to do and I am not completely sure where to start eating the elephant. Lot's of post with good information, but I do not have a good attack strategy and I sure do not want to buy parts before I have a better idea of what is wrong.


Suggestions?
