i know the ac will turn the fan on low... but it was staying on full blast.
im beginning to suspect the rain has done a bit of damage.. just now the
rear defroster is inop. i seem to have several gremlins.

ill try that. i dont know why these problems seem so much harder to break
down at 730 at night on the side of the road, freezing your @ss off
troubleshooting with a keychain light. =)

and that's been on the replace roster for too long already.

thanks much for the help.
