Front blower never worked since I have had the Carat, and with winter
coming on, something had to be done. I couldn't do it because I'm still
pretty weak from my stroke.

My thanks to JIM FELDER of FELDER ENTERPRISES  in Madison, Alabama for
undertaking the task and doing a fabulous job.

Popped the dash out in about an hour or so an got to the heater box. Next
step was to open the box and remove the heater. Found a blower motor that
was seized.  A shot of brake cleaner, then a squirt of lithium lube, some
fine machine oil put the motor back in running order, fifteen years of
sitting idle had allowed the  motor to seize. A new switch was necessary.

The motor was put back in the box, and Jim proceded to fastenen it back
together by drilling the tabs and applying zip ties as fasteners. That way
it could be easily disassembled  if it should need it in the future.

The box was put back in the van and hooked up, and then the dash installed.
Neither task was difficult, but took some jiggling and wiggling.

It was a casual job, and took about 8 hours without rushing and even a
lunch break. And it all worked when finish. There were no left over parts.
A place for everything and everthing in its place.

A necessary job well done. My thanks, Jim FELDER
