blower fan...help please!

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well I did this on my car many months ago, if the car is an AC car (4 speeds
on switch), its actually easier to take the black plastic cover in your rain
tray apart to access and clean the blower motor, the holding
pin/bolts/screws will almost all be located under the dash (both side of the
compartment) it takes some time to tackle it apart (I found a ton of small
leaves and other crap in the engine, after cleaning the area and lubricating
the motor it runs like a champ with no squealing noises) , start from the
open square hole and work you way to the large plastic cover (its actually 2
parts if my mind recalls properly, expect to spend about 1 hour to tackle it
apart and bruise a few knuckles...

=>I am working on my blower as well, it has never worked sine i bought the

=>wire to either of the two wire to its right (1st is fan high/ 2nd is fan
=>med)[I was holding the plug with the wires comming towards me]
=>any much to
=>my relief, my switch is faulty, but due to lack of use the is crap in my
=>blower box(car sat 2 years) and it sounds like hell. Any try the
=>jumper deal
=>to decide if the switch or the fan is bad.
