Mike,

I replaced the motor last fall ($300.00 Can, motor only)! When the CC was on
"econ" this morning it wouldn't blow cooler air in the "lo" setting. It will
usually do this. Fan speed does increase when I go to the high setting. I'm
thinking that it can't see the interior temp setting or it is unable to
either:

1) send a signal to the blend door 

2) signal is sent but door is jammed

It's heating up up here so I'll be able to see if the compressor kicks in
after work.

Thanks,
Joh

John,
You won't get compressor startup (ergo cold air) until CC outside temp
sensors report =>4C (40F).

You can't see inside temp sensor readings.  If they fail, they trigger
channel 01 error codes 01,02,11,12 if open or shorted.  

What happens when you put fan speed to hi in econ mode?  If you're not
getting hi speed, then you've got the dreaded dying blower motor
syndrome.
