The noise and the smell gives you all the information you should need. The
blower motor is shot.

Subject: Inoperative front blower issue.

Dear list;

On an all-day trip home last week, I noticed an electrical smell right
before my heater blower quit working. The switch is was relatively
new, but I replaced it anyway as the quality of those sorts of parts
seems iffy these days. replacing the switch elicits no response at all
from the blower (it was squealing mildly upon starting before it--or
something--quit). I am wondering if there is a hidden fuse to the
motor I should be looking for; the fuses in the fuse box and the two
up above and to the right of it seem OK.

I just want to make sure it isn't something else before I pull the
dash for the second time since the summer.

Thanks,

Jim
