Climate Control flakiness

[Ed Kellock]

If the blower is getting tired, you can keep it going for a while by
spraying some WD40 in there.  You lift the cowl cover at the base
ofthe windshield and pull the elbow shaped rubber hose that is used as
a cooling vent.  I've kept two going for a couple of years now like
this.  I only have to go in there once a year or so.  I've also
resurrected one on another car that wouldn't budge.  I've had to give
it a couple of treatments to begin with but it seems to be happy now.
