Hi Fellow Vanagoneers;
I'm brand new to the list, and my first request for help concerns my "Rear
Heat Exchanger".  I had replaced 2 years ago with a new one after the old
one was leaking.  This past fall though the new one began to squeak at times
when the blower was turned on.  After a couple of weeks of this, one evening
I noticed smoke coming up from the back of my 84 Westy.  I parked and
checked it out and found the plastic near the electrical connectors leading
to the blower had melted.  (source of the smoke).  I disconnected the
connectors, wrapped them with electrical tape and am planning to replace
something.  Although I'm not exactly sure what.  I'm guessing the fan
wouldn't turn due to something so far unknown and that heated up the
electrical system, melting the plastic.  Do you think I can just replace the
fan portion or do I need to replace the whole unit again???

Thanks;
