Subject:      No Heater/No Wipers!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I went out this morning and fired up the '85 Westy to run it to work.  (I
don't normally use it for daily transportation, but I wanted to use it
tomorrow and it hadn't been run in a while.)  Started right up.  No heater
fan on any speed.  It sometimes will not start on 1 or even 2, but always
kicks over on 3.  Not today.  It is cold, maybe 30F, windshield is frosted.
Hmm.  I try the wipers/washers, nothing either.   Back heater comes on OK.
Dash lights work.  Can't drive it with out a heater or wipers.  I realize
the heater motor is going or gone, but I don't drive it cold weather very
much.  It always started on 3 and then will run on 1 or 2.   Could it just
have blown a fuse?  If the wipers had worked, I might have driven it
anyway.  The heater might work once everything warmed up under there, but I
wasn't going anywhere without wipers.  Same circuit?  My Bentley is at
home.
