Hi all! Have sent my last payment and am waiting on the title and alas.....my AC/heat blower motor or resistor is going out. It comes on sometimes but not all the time. I tapped on it under the glovebox and fan came on.

Suggestions on what to do first????????? I have a great mechanic that will work on it for me for no cost but I would like some info on what to tell him to check first to save him some time. I have printed from online manual here about '99 VX but I have a 2001. Differences?

Also, if I have to get either motor or resistor, where is best place to buy? THANKS! It's getting chilly here in TN and I don't want to freeze my nip***s off!
