[MR2] AW-11 Blower Motor seems weak on high setting

Damn!  It hadn't occurred to me to shop for a new motor, let alone 3rd-party.  Live & learn.  

:o)

Then I pulled the blower motor itself, and confirmed it was dead. Replaced it with another from a yard, voila! - $50 solution.

$45 brand new at NAPA.  Don't know how long they last.  I put one in the 
85 Corolla a year ago.  So far, so good.  But I'm on my second 
'guaranteed for life' NAPA alternator.  I didn't return the original 
Toyota alternator and will eventually replace the brushes.  I was 
pressed for time, so I bought the new one.
