The noise and the smell gives you all the information you should need. The blower motor is shot. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Jim Felder Sent: Saturday, January 16, 2010 2:54 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Inoperative front blower issue. Dear list; On an all-day trip home last week, I noticed an electrical smell right before my heater blower quit working. The switch is was relatively new, but I replaced it anyway as the quality of those sorts of parts seems iffy these days. replacing the switch elicits no response at all from the blower (it was squealing mildly upon starting before it--or something--quit). I am wondering if there is a hidden fuse to the motor I should be looking for; the fuses in the fuse box and the two up above and to the right of it seem OK. I just want to make sure it isn't something else before I pull the dash for the second time since the summer. Thanks, Jim |
