I reached up under the dash and tapped it and it started but it sounds like the bearings are worn out, which I suppose after 186 thousand plus miles it was tired.

I know one is for the rear defrost and the other one looks like it is for the radio, but I would like to be sure.

The one I had in the rear defrost was burnt a bit and the defrost wouldn't work anymore so I switch them.

Now both works but I am not sure if that powers the amp in the trunk for the speakers (I have the Bose speakers) and maybe I am not getting all the current back to it.

I fixed something today, for a change. Any one ever heard of this happening? It was the last thing I checked, damn.

The no start problem was that four of the rocker arms had jumped off on that left bank. It was sort of a timing issue, the chain is fine no problems there. Didn't appear to be any damage to anything, inside there I have no idea why they might have jumped off. I suppose it is possible that four of the lifters collapsed, from car sitting for so long.

Now on to the tune up problems, from the car sitting for so long with this problem.
