Many have had problems w. Blower motors. The rear blower grounds to the alternator ground post. I recently discovered a short between the power lead to the blower and that ground wire. And my blower fried itself last month.

The dash light feeds off of a little blue wire that is connected to to the alt., also. The voltage regulator could be suspect, too. I think if your voltage is dipping, the VR could the reason.

Sorry if I'm babbling, but all this stuff is connected and should be checked out. When I dug into mine, found the alt ground wire melted and the alt positive lead's insulation crumbling. See my recent posts for pics.

Suggestions: unplug the blower motor and check the resistance across both the motor and the plug. The motor windings should be ~5 ohms. The plug leads should be open resistance.

Also, get a voltmeter you plug into your cigarette lighter and observe voltage while in use. Try it with various electic accessories on and off. This should give you an indication if your VR is working correctly. Max voltage should be less than 14.5 and greater than 13(?, can't remember exactly)

Good luck
