[V8] Need: 1990 V8 Heater Blower Motor, Windshield Wiper Switch

[Tony and Lillie]

Tom is dead on with the blower motor, give it a try. Can't hurt, just make 
sure it's non-flamable (just had this discussion on QW as well). For the 
wiper switch, it will more than likely need to be taken apart to clean. At 
that point, I'd probably take the headlight switch apart as well, as they 
tend to be a bit more troublesome. Need to do that with my new-to-me 100 
Avant as well.
