Umm...is this thing on?



Oh no....Now that I didn't want to hear. If that's the case I may just
pay somebody else do it.  Judging from the location of the fan/motor in
the rain tray, If I can't get it out from w/in the rain tray it's going
to take complete removal of almost all the climate control stuff to be
able to get to it and chances are I'll break something (that is
expensive and/or hard to find) trying.

The Texas sun has all but destroyed the dash to the point where putting
Armour All on it would be like sprinkling grass seed on the moon.  A
new dash is on the list of stuff this car needs right after tires,
whatever it is that keeps the front brake calipers (not the pads) from
rattling, this fan/motor, shifter bushings and the intermittant
stalling problem it has...in that order.

Thanks all!  I had forgotten how helpful mailing lists can be.
