OK here's what worked for me.
Fall arrives and my blower motor stops working. Being normal, I
procrastinate hoping it will self repair. No Luck so I break down and
search out prices  on blower motors. My local FLAPS has the best deal
so I order it. meanwhile, temperature plummets (it no being winter ,
temperaturly if not officially.

Motor arrives and is thrown into van as it is far to cold to work on.
Temp rises to an almost tolerable level. Don't know why but I turn on
fan switch to high. there is a clonk and the fan spins in to life.   It
still works a month later. I keep the new fan in the van just so the
old one doesn't get any ideas about packing it in again.
