I don't think the blower is a problem part. The replacement procedure is
a major problem. You have to almost completely remove your dash to get to
the air manifold that contains the blower.
Start at the simple part, check out the switch on the dash. Check the
ground wire (brown). Try an alternate source of 12v, to your switch you
could just have a loose connection to the blower switch. I wouldn't
bother learning what every fuse goes to, just make sure they're all good,
remove each fuse one at a time and take a close look at it. I've seen bad
fuses caused by corrosion on the end contacts.

Exhaust everything before you remove your dash to look at the fan. My
blower seems to take a few minutes to get going sometimes, I guess the
air passing over the tumbler breaks it loose from stuck position and gets
it started. I've removed these blowers at wrecking yards to get a spare
and I for one will live without it for a ong time before I go to the one
full day labor to replace it.

If you decide to remove it, there is one phillips head screw on the left
upper portion of the blower case that is completely hidden, you have to
remove the 90 degree air diverter at the end of the case to see it. And
at this point you're standing on your head with the steering column and
wheel lying on the drivers seat.

Replacement is so difficult that I'd never consider installing the used
blower motor, I'd definatel go with new, This is one job you only want to
do once in a lifetime.

The blower I'm speaking of is an 80-83 AirCooled Westfalia/Vanagon, if
you have another type of vehicle I think the same info above will apply.
