heater blower

["Ed & Marsha Prytherch" <mred2u@domain.elided>]

I had two frozen blower motors. One had discolored windings and was burned
up and useless. It had been so hot that the plastic fan had welded onto the
motor spindle. The other one looked OK. I lubed the end bushings with
penetrating oil, put the motor in a vise and spun the shaft with an electric
drill. It works fine now.

down a new one?  How about the wiper motor?  Do parts on later cars work
