Blower motor
Here's the problem, blower motor worked intermittently, now not at all. No weird sounds or any other tip off that motor is going. What should I look for, is their a chance this is something other than the motor burning up? Thanks for your help.

Sounds like your brushes just wore away.
The only fix is a new blower motor. If you've never done your heater core you might as well do both in one shot.
I had to do my heater core a month after I did my blower motor.

i just went thru this...
changing the blower motor isnt terrible, it's just not fun. putting everything back together is worse than taking it apart. i thought i could just get new brushes and be done with it, but the armature below the brushes that they make contact with was worn very badly too so the whole motor needs replacing. I took mine down to a generator/alternator rebuilding shop but they couldn't do anything because the motor is assembled with rivets and is tough to rebuild. it takes special tooling to dissassemble/reassemble the motor and since they get 1 or 2 requests per year it's not worth their time.

Link to instructions on how to replace the blower
Andrew:
Here's the instructions on Audifans on how to do it, using these instructions I did my first one a few years ago and it has been running fine ever since. I went with a completely new Bosch fan unit, others have just done the brushes.
Just go slowly the first time out and be patient, oh and have beer in the fridge for when you are done.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audifans.com/archives/1997/08/msg02239.html">http://www.audifans.com/archives/1997/08/msg02239.html</a</li></ul>
