Everything was working fine yesterday, but today I don't seem to get as much airflow as I should. The fan is spinning properly but there is not much "wind" through the vents. I have tried all positions of the controls - Defrost, Economy, etc. Any thoughts? I am thinking a flapper or two in the heater box is not working or stuck. TIA Fred - -----Original Message----- I like your solution, Junot. Two speeds - High and Off.... I have pretty much determined that the regulator is fried. Probably fried when while the motor was seized up. By the way, the reason that the motor seized up was because the drain for the AC condenser was plugged and the condensate submerged the blower motor. Best price is about $230 for the regulator - Ouch. It's just a variable resistor! Oh well. Have a good day - Fred ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #1480 **********************************
