[DML] Window & Blower Question

["Steven L. Alves" <steve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems like when things start going, it happens all at once. While sitting at a show on Friday night I pressed the accelerator pedal and the throttle cable broke right as it comes out of the tube above the pedal. I wanted to attend another show on Sunday and knew I was not going to be able to get a new cable by then so I figured I would go the bike brake cable route to get a temporary fix working. For the record, bike shops don't usually have cables that long. But fishing shops have stainless leader that is almost identical, so I had the throttle working again and head off to the Sunday show.

Now for the new problems:

On the way to the show the left window stopped working. It tries to go down but seems to be jammed at the front edge. The back goes down a hair then seems to get stuck. Any thoughts.. I have never had it apart but am guessing there is a track?

Then on the way back from the show (Now with no working front window) I had the AC on max with the fan all the way up. All of a sudden the fan went off. I went ahead and turned the fan and AC off, but after a few minutes of sweating with only one working window, I turned it back on.. Presto.. The fan is working. I left it on #2 figuring maybe it was overheating on the highest setting. It continued working on the lower setting with no problem. Is the blower breaker controlled or fused? Or do the fans have a thermal shutdown?

I want to get this stuff fixed before something else goes wrong, What are the chances that with South Floridas heat, I lose the window and AC blower on the same day?
