THIS IS NOT THE 'USUAL' BLOWER MOTOR QUESTION........

FIRST OFF, IT CONCERNS MY 87 244, WHICH I'VE OWNED FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS......WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I KNEW, GOING IN, IT WOULD NEED A BLOWER MOTOR SOON, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, ABOUT 10-12 YEARS AGO, ON MY 74 144...I KNEW WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO, BUT THE PRICE WAS RIGHT...........

I DON'T USUALLY USE THE BLOWER MOTOR IN THIS CAR, IN OUR MILD, PACIFIC NORTHWET CLIMATE(I'M WITHIN MORTAR RANGE OF IPD), I CAN KEEP THE CAR WARM ENOUGH, USING THE RAM AIR EFFECT OF THE COWL VENTS, AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO RECHARGING THE A/C SYSTEM, SO I NEVER TOUCH THE BLOWER IN THE SUMMER......

IF I TRY TO USE THE BLOWER MOTOR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, IT GIVES ME THE USUAL DIEING SQUAWKS OF A BLOWER MOTOR ON IT'S LAST LEGS......IF I WAIT TILL THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD, I CAN(BUT DON'T USUALLY) RUN THE FAN, IF I WANT TO, WITH NO NOISE........

HERE'S THE ODD PART.IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, WHEN I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING, WITH THE FAN BLOWER >OFF<.....I'VE GOTTEN A QUICK, HALF SECOND, SQUAWK...I FIGURED MAYBE IT WAS JUST THE 'CIRCUITS' ENERGIZING AND DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.....

THEN MAYBE A WEEK AGO, IT CONTINUED TO SQUAWK WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT.....I TURNED THE FAN BLOWER MOTOR ON, RAN IT THROUGH ALL FOUR SPEEDS, AND I ACTUALLY HEARD THE FAN SQUAWK, >AT A DIFFERENT PITCH< AT THE SAME TIME I WAS HEARING THE STRANGE SQUAWK!!!! BUT THEN, THE STRANGE SQUAWK WENT AWAY, WHEN I SHUT THE BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH OFF........

THIS MORNING, IT DID IT AGAIN...BUT NO AMOUNT OF DIDDLING WITH THE FAN BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH WOULD SHUT OFF THE 'STRANGE' SQUAWK.....I DECIDED TO JUST DRIVE AND SEE WHAT 'FRIED'..........BUT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, I REACHED FOR THE A/C ROTARY SWITCH, SPUN IT ON, FOR A SECOND, THEN OFF, AND THE STRANGE SQUAWK WENT AWAY, UPON MY TURNING THE A/C SWITCH TO OFF.......

I KNOW THERE IS ONLY ONE BLOWER IN THERE, HOW CAN I GET TWO, DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT NOISES, FROM THE SAME MOTOR, AT THE SAME TIME??????

I'M AT A LOSS......ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS???? SIMILAR EXPERIENCES?????

SHOULD I SET MY PHASER TO 'STUN'??? OR CALL AN EXORCIST??????
