Well, easier said than done as cleaning the contacts entail disassembly of the whole dash to get at the blower. If you went that far I would replace the blower with a new one.

We'll see. >Would it be helpful to clean the contacts on the heater blower itself >including the ground? >Perhaps 15yrs of oxidation on the terminals may be causing some resistance. > >doug |
