Subject:Rear Heater Problems

I discovered my rear heater valve leaks at the seal if you wiggle the
connected hose.  So, should I replace the whole valve or just the O-ring?
Who should I buy from?  The archives suggest the dealer charges ~$45 for the
valve and ~$3 for the O-ring.

The blower won't turn and eats fuses.  It was seized up but I got it to
rotate  by hand.  It's still not wanting to trun freely and ate another
fuse.  Can I save it or do I need a new one?  Who should I buy from?

I suspect the heater core is junk too.  I've heard $55 new at Halsey in
Portland.  Can anyone beat that?

If this repair is going to cost $180 I might just bypass it.

Thanks, John
