OK, please keep in mind, this is a 1992 LE.
The blower motor just started acting up. I'm in northern Wisconsin. Gets quite cold here. Let me explain exactly what it's doing.
With a cold car and engine, I push in the defrost button, move the fan speed button to light level 4 (high) and let it warm up. At this point the blower is working fine. Slowly but surely (within 5 mins) the fan speed drops lower and lower to the point of barely blowing. You can hear the motor struggling to stay on. Here's where it gets interesting. A good smack to the outside blower case, wiggling the electrical connector, and tugging on the motor would all make the blower briefly kick back up. But only for about 10 seconds and down it would go again. While driving the car it would go up and down.
Here's where I'm at. I pulled the blower out and would like to get some advice before proceeding with buying any parts. I've seen over and over that it's probably the resistors. I'm curious to know if it sounds like somthing else. Like a relay, bad connection or other component.
I want to add that after pulling the motor, I reconnected it and turned it on. It had full power. So the motor is fine. One final thing that would be of great help would be a wiring schematic of the blower system for the '92 model. A basic .jpg or .pdf file would work.
Thanks very much for any help. BILL
