I've been having trouble with the "Fresh air fan".  It was working fine for quite a while, and would start up immediately  when the switch was turned on.

 About a month ago, it would  only start a few moments to minutes after the switch was turned on. Now  it will not turn on at all. The only time I get any airflow is when the  van is in motion.

  I checked the ballast resistor. It reads 2.4ohms. Is this correct? The switch also checks out ok.

  I'm assuming the fan is bad. Does this sound right? I'm getting 12vdc to the switch.

  Do I need to take the entire heater/fresh air box apart to test the  fan? Do I need to remove the entire dash? Is there an easier way?  According to  Bentley on page 80.15. I'll need 11 clips of 321 819  059. and "D17" what is this? Some type of glue or silicone?

  Thanx again for all of your help...
