A mere 3-1/2 years ago during the first hot May day, I turned on my A/C. First I heard a pop, smelled something foul, and finally blackish smoke came into the cabin at which time the fan stopped and I've been without heat, defrost, and A/C since.

Before I started doing my own work, I took the car to my independent shop. I was told it was a $1400 job. I would need the fan and the complete wiring/electronics replaced. It makes sense to me that it's only the fan that needs replacing.

I have purchased the new fan and motor/cage assy. I'm ready to tackle it but have not been able to find any instructions or notes on how to do so other than it takes less than an hour. I don't do well with the Chilton's book. It assumes I know something. I have been able to replace my starter, neutral safety switch and ignition switch with the brickboard.com users' help.

Can you help me again? Many thanks and good karma (and carma) to you in 2007. Marcia in Seattle
