At first I thought the blower was working, only weakly. I moved the temp
select to cut off "fresh air" and the flow went down to nothing. I'm pretty
sure the blower isn't working at all.
I had thought about the A/C pressure but the A/C was working great and was
cold, until the blower stopped.
As far as the resistor, is that the thing (sorry, pretty mechanically
illiterate) in the under-hood fuse box? It looks like a small black cube
that plugs in along with the fuses. Are the resistor and the relay the same
thing?
Any ideas on the fuel problem?
Thanks...
