Hello
It's an '88 Cougar. Mostly nicely maintained but then spent a couple years unused in a garage w/o doors. Mice in the fan, and so forth.
My mechanic has told me it is likely the blower needs to be replaced, that this is a real bear, requiring removal of the dash, and could run a grand.
I am feeling my oats (just changed the belts in a Pathfinder all by myself) and want to do this job if it is not impossible for the neophyte.
Can someone direct me to an extant set of directions to this, or walk me through it?
Seems like there'd be some preliminaries. First, what engine, right? Other than that, as much as I can test as to whether the heater heats and the AC cools. Is there a way to tell these things without the blower working? [I think at first it spit out nutshells and such; maybe not working at all now? I will check this].
Thanks
