Subject:Front and rear heater motors

Hello

What is with the Vanagon heater motors and switches? I have an 82 and an 84
GL that both had problems with the heater blowers. The 84 used to squeal and
went through switches like candy. The new 84 I just bought had both front
and rear motors on the fritz. The rear appears to have worn brushes (is
there a source for these?) and only runs when I press in on one of the
brushes. The front heater motor didn't work for the first two weeks and then
just started working one day (I had already replaced the switch with no
effect). I would have troubleshot it and figured out what was bad if it
hadn't fixed itself. I don't want the thing to die on me in the middle of
the winter. Can anyone tell me what the deal is with these $#$@#$%$# motors.
