Bigchillcar,
had your car been sitting for a while? Right after i bought mine (it had been sitting with the P.O.) the blower fuse blew..i was thinking the worst but i popped in a new fuse and it has been working fine ever since.

i got to wondering if the lubricant in those motors hardens or stiffens when its not being used...i was restoring a 928 and neither window operated, but when i disassembled the window motors, turns out they had just been sitting so long the grease had hardened and siezed up the motor..once i cleaned it up and re-lubricated, they worked fine....

with that experience i try to exercise my blower fan over the whole range whenever i think about it..maybe silly but in my mind i am prolonging the fan life
