Blower fix

Hi. I see that a lot have had trouble with the blower in their car. If your motor stops spinning (and it isn't the resistor problem), you might be able to take out the fan and fix it.
The problem with mine was that the shaft was dropping down to far, and I think the propeller cage was catching on the motor.
So I pulled the fan out, and took off the cage. Under there was a washer that keeps the shaft in place. I pushed the washer back down, oiled the motor, and put the cage back on. My fan has been working 100% for about a week now. Don't know how long it will last, but for those of you who are broke like me, this is a cheap way to fix yet another part in this incredibly shoddy car.
Hope that helps someone.
