IIRC I first plled the switch assy on the console and put in a replacement (used) assy - still no air. :o(   then I pulled the blower motor&  applied direct current via jumpues from battery - dead. Bought a used motor from a yard, put it in, all good.

You should be able to pull the motor connector and apply 12v directly to 
the motor.  That will tell the story.  When the motor on my '84 Corolla 
went, I found that NAPA had a direct fit for $30.  At that price, no 
point in trying to find replacement brushes.

> Hi guys.  Found and checked the blower fuse today - not blown, but still nothing from any of the switch positions.  At only 120K I doubt the motor itself is bad and I haven't used it much.  How often do the relay, switch fail?  Still blowing the running light fuse.  Could there be some sort of connection, like a bad ground somewhere or just coincidence?  Thanks for any tips before I start tearing my (formerly dead reliable) baby apart.  Cheers, Ron.
