Josh, make sure that the electrical terminals are still secure- on Paul 
Royals car - either the heat, mechanical stress or both, pulled the 
terninals away from the internal connections on the fan motor - since the 
case was not servicable, we had to buy a new fan.

He replaced his with a six bladed fan

Make sure the wiring is up to the task, all the way to and from the relay

from my understanding, 1st speed runs with the afterun pump. 2nd comes on 
when Auto or Bilevel is selected (AC), 3rd speed is when temp goes over the 
major hashmark at about 10 o'clock
