mike..face it.. your blower motor is siezed.. no matter how much you dont
wanna hear it.. you can swap switches till the cows come home.. you can do
what some others here on the list have done, drill some access holes and use a
microscope, night vision anal probe camera, and telepathy, and a long
catheter hose, and pray you dribble some oil on the shaft.. or somewhere in the
vicinity of the shaft (murphy's law, if you dump enough in there its bound to
lubricate something..("honey, why does our wbx vanagon smell like our old '71 bus
did when you turn on the heat?") but thats about it.. bottom line is the
whole dash has to come out.
my condolences.. we have a "i cannot accept that my dash blower motor is
siezed" list support group that meets here every tues nite at 7 in vanagon.com
chat.
please join.
i'm already a member. :<)
