Re: Blower motor -Reply

[Gary Webster <GARY@synaxis.com>]

I would like to know if that is the same motor that is in the 89 200TQ. 
Mine has been squeaking for more than a year on and off.  (It stops on
low speed unless I have the A/C on.)  Also, does anyone have an idea
of the accessability in the 200 series??

Thanks

I have a '88 90Q that the blower started squeking on about 18 months
ago.  I  crawled up under the dash and found the motor rather quickly. 
Seems like it  took me about 30 minutes to find it and get it out of
there.

Anyways, I put a little grease on each end of the bearings, and put it
back. 
 It still works fine, and blowers get quite a work out in Phoenix during
the  summer...
