I found half a dozen walnuts in my blower cage as well as enough leaves to slow/stop 80% of the air. My car while in the neglect of its PO was home to any number of rodents... I actually found a rat's nest in my passenger door. Four screws/nuts under the glove box. Pull the two plugs first. Fan motor will be obvious. Check this before ordering parts. Betcha that's your problem... If you need a fan, they're $20-150, depending on source... Save the cage... -Steve Peck #3302 STAINLS [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
