Subject:Blower Seized, Freeing Advice Needed for 82 diesel
From:Keith Olsen
Date:Wed, 3 Nov 1999 14:11:10 EST

Hi All,
Just when I was about to start enjoying a November with heat it seems my
heater blower has stopped.  The switch is working and I have noticed that the
dash lights dim a bit when I turn the switch so I surmise a seized motor is
to blame.
The big question is how the heck do you access the darn thing?  I pulled the
ashtray, radio, tube from the aux diesel fuel heater (which doesnt work
either) and all other air tubing while hoping beyond all hope that maybe the
motor would be accessable enough to check it or give it a manual spin to free
it up, or,  when all of that doesnt work, swear loudly and start saving my
allowence for a replacement.   Does any one have any suggestions on the
subject?
TIA
