.<< Then put everything back as it was and your good to go again. Cheers, Frank Condelli>>

Don't forget to tell him Frank that he can keep that new fan motor from seizing up and keep it well lubed by spraying oil into the heater intake vent .

I tried this fix once suggested By Frank. Other than blowing oil all over the rugs, and becaue I also had the defroster's on, I lubed the inside of my glass a bit. The used I installed motor has never locked up again.

The oil film also helps keep my windsheild from fogging up in the winter so I spray lubed in the fall with bar oil.

This was a great idea Frank, I'm glad you thought of it, And glad it itis in the archives to reference to.

I have two questions; Should I remove the grill before spraying the bar oil into the heater intake vent, or just leave it on? And how often do you think I should remove the defroster vents to clean the lint out?

Thanks ,
