- Last time I had one go out, a GM blower motor was an on-the
- -shelf item in any decent auto parts store. This tells me that the
- motors quit with some frequency. I'll assume that you have already
- checked the fuse for the blower.
- The blower motor in my 63 Cadillac once seized up and would
- blow fuses as fast as you could put them in. (To my chagrin, the motor
- at the parts stores only fit back to 64, so I had to pay the Cadillac
- boys for mine - $$$).
