Hi Listees, When I turn on my rear heater blower (under the rear-seat, obviously) - I get that dreaded electrical insulation or strong burning plastic smell. However, the fan does work well, noise-free, and heat does come out the duct. It seems obvious, to a newbie like me, that the problem is the motor. However, in the Bentley, there is no information of any use regarding the rear heater assembly. Questions: Is this an obvious sign of the motor going bad - or is it possible something else, disguising itself to me? To remove the cover to get at the motor, do I basically just remove every bolt, untill the motor is exposed? Anything else I need to do? Thanks very much! Marshall Ruskin
