Subject:      Heater Motor resistor?
Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII

Fellow Vanagonites,
Well, it has been (or getting) a bit nippy here in the "Windy City", and
in a timely, and unpredictable, fashion, the front heater motor has
decided to start giving me the slow down and quit running routine.
However, it isn't screaming from a "petrolis neglegtis" situation, it
just slows down an stops.
If I shut it off, and turn it back on in a few minutes, it goes back on
and runs for awhile and then repeats it's slow down routine.
Is there a resistor, in line, with the motor that could be getting hot,
and shutting the motor down?
For the time being, (being a resorceful lad that I am) I placed a
catalitic, "Buddy Heater" in front of the middle seat, facing foward,
and I turn on  the A/C blower motor, and it distributes the heat from
that unit pretty good, along with the rear heater For now I'm in pretty
good shape, but would like to ressurect the front heater from this
tempory "glitch"
Any ideas, short of replacing the dreaded front heater motor?

Thanks,
