Look under the dash on the passenger side, it should be an easy in car jobto do. Worst thing to remove may be is the glovebox. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW 300,000 MILES?!?!?!?!? You win the award for most piled on a car in three years. i would check also to make sure you have power to the fan motor, but at that milage, i wouldnt be surprised if the the fan motor died. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcspeer Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I bet the cleaning is not what fixed it, the connector was probably loose and when you put it back in you got it pluged back tight, this has happenen to mine a couple of times also. Mine gets knocked loose from the mail tubs and things I carry in floorboard. If it quits again try wiggling the connector. I FIXED IT...
