You may not have a dead front blower but a switch that has gone bad. They
are a real problem. Try switching out with the rear blower switch. They
are the same. Then you know for sure. If in fact it is the front blower
that;s gone, then you have a real chore ahead, but if you stay focused,
prepare well ahead of time, you can get it done in a day.

Good Luck.
