 PK> Hey everyone,

     Peter:
          
     When the blower goes the 1st time, you can usually
     remove that little rubber tube/grommet on the side
     of the the plenum box and push down on the brushes
     with a small screwdriver. Cleaning the brushes with
     some contact cleaner or such would help also.  I did
     this when the blower died on the 5KS, and it went for
     almost another year and a half before I had to change
     the blower motor.
     If this doesn't bring the blower back to some semblance
     of life, it's REALLY gone, or the problem may lie
     elsewhere.
