My Hero of the day and my brother alwaysAfter a few days of no blower motor working in my truck, I called my brother Delbert. I had tried fuses tracing wiring and direct wiring it, but it still wouldn't come on. I called him because he is a mechanic with well over 30 years experience. I told him the story and that I figured I'd have to buy another blower motor. His advice from probably 35 years of experience was that yeah it probably was the motor since I had directly wired it, and it failed to come on. He then said "Try hitting (well he said tapping but hitting sounds better) it with a hammer." about 3 taps with a pair of channel locks (I didn't have a hammer) later it works just fine again.
So in closing, I am not a mechanic but if your vehicle has issues, I would say sound advice is "Hit it with a hammer and save those costly repair bills!" Unless you are near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, then visit Del and let him hit it for you!
Thanks again Del!

its nice to have a big brother to help you out sometimes. thanks del
I just found out, what works well for blower motors does nothing for a cracked windshield!
I'll have to show this to Del when he gets home. He's damn good at fixing cars. It amazes me how he can diagnose so many makes of cars, over the phone! He'll even tell people how to take things apart in engines and where to find everything without looking. Half the time I can't even find the door handle! As my Grandpa used to say " That guy is a fart smeller." I know it's dumb but it always got a giggle out of me.
Michelle, do you give him dutch ovens?
Okay Doug. Neither me or Delbert know what that comment means. Please splain it to us dummies. Or maybe it's not something you want to explain in detail on your blog. ha ha
Thats when you pull the covers over your spouses head after letting one go
Thanks Doug, you're good at explaining things. :) You could write a book called "Fart Jokes and One Liners for Dummies".
