Re: heat question
I know the blower isn't working right now...and at the moment, I don't
really need it. Started working only on medium speed...Did me
reasearch, and changed the resistor pack...that wasn't it, then found
out that it might be the blower switch....haven't changed it
yet...hopefully it isn't the blower that's shot, so maybe that's why I
had poor heat last winter.
I realised I probably won't put insulation under the carpet, but I
noticed rust starting to show up....any ideas for that?? I thought of
using that undercoating stuff...sort of "tar in a can"...good idea??
Thanks
