hi list, just wanted to post a message saying that i had succesfully replaced my faulty heater blower motor. now the fan works peachy. i ended up getting a replacement blower from a pick-n-pull junkyard in newark, ca, for about $19 including core deposit. pulled one off of an 84 (my vanagon is an 85) and it seems to be pretty much identical blower unit, works fine. also, i got a chance to practice the dash removal again at the pick-n-pull on a junker, and the second time doing it it was pretty effortless, from start to finish, blower motor sitting in my hand, it took about 35 minutes. pick-n-pulls are great, im definitely going to start going more often, never know what your gonna find, could be that part you've been thinking about mail ordering for $60 and you find one for $10! anyhow, thanks for all who responded to my posts for help during the job ... -steve and buster
