Default 1987 Corvette Convertible blower

Blower kicks in and out when it feels like it. Everything else works fine. It is getting worse. Some days doesn't kick in at all. Doesn't work for more than a few minutes when it does kick in. 54,000 original miles. be willing to part with.

Go buy a new blower at the auto parts store.

$50 or LESS.....

the elec plug is famous for melting the contacts away. IF yours is still intact and the harness plug is melted, snip it off and install 2 female crimp connects to fit the 2 blades in the motor.....
Often the meted damage is INSIDE the motors elec plug and cannot be accessed for repair. Buy 2....it'll happen again.

When mine did that it was a corroded pin in the connectors on top of the evaporator housing. I cleaned the pins and have not had a problem since (about 5 years ago).
