    The cab blower motor went on the fritz in my 08 Intl Prostar after running on the VA I-81 iceruts from that snow/ice storm the w/e of 18 Dec.

    Circuit breaker is good, so I'm thinking some loose wiring. Wary of going into company shop as my last couple of "experiences" have resulted in DAYS of downtime for minutes of repair needs.

    Any advice on how to access the blower motor circuits for testing/repair?:biggrin_25524:

    If your breakers are good, I'd check, if you can get to them, the wires on the back of the switch, one of them might be loose. Fan motors if they die, will usually work on high speed but not the lower ones, there is a resistor that sometimes goes bad.
