John and I pulled that blower and lubed it about a year ago. It was running pretty rough, the lube helped as a band aid. Sounds like it might be dried up again. It was so bad it melted fuse 8 (talk about a panic, smelling that melting plastic ) so that is why the blower is wired to fuse 5 now. I would stay off of high speed until you get it fixed.

You might want to start scouring the P-N-P for another one...or there is always the Volvo blower motor trick (Volvo used the same supplier for their motor as MB and there is a much cheaper motor intended for the Volvo that crosses over).
