RE: 91 200qw: climate control fan

[Ed Kellock <EKELLOCK@ECS-INC.com>]

Well the verdict, this time, was the sharp-blow-to-the-blower-housing
method.  I was under the hood with the cowling cover pulled off and
trying to jumper different things per Bentley and #1 below, and at one
point I just reached over and smacked the blower housing with my fist.

Viola! (sic)  Ugh.  Fan running.  Put back together, leave alone.  For
now....

I will replace the mutli-function sensor soon though; still got that
flaky temp gauge.

Thanks!
