Blower Fan doesn't Blow

[Kneale Brownson]

Probably brushes hung up on blower motor.  If this is a Type 44 car (5000,
100, 200, V8), the motor is in the heater core box in the HVAC well at the
base of the windshield.  Near the front on the driver side of the box is an
L-shaped rubber hose.  Take out the end that connects to the part of the
box housing the fan motor (the part where the wires go), and a good light
should give you a view of one of the motor brushes.  Folks have reported
success for temporarily bringing the motor back to life by pushing the
brush back into place.  Plan on a near-future fan motor R&R.
