Car heater/fan

[erikwells]

I have a mazda protege 2002 and this morning no heat. I suppose I'll check fuses first but I suspect the fan motor burned out. The car has almost 250k on it and I'm trying to keep it running for a bit longer however I won't likly be driving it too much longer. So to that end anyone have any suggestions on the best way to keep the repair on the cheap? I am mechanically challenged so me doing the repair is not realistic (I wish I could). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading.

Take a small hammer and give the blower motor a little tap, see if that will get it going again, it may only work for a few days, or a couple years. But it is worth a try.

+1 for tapping the bower motor!

Thanks guys I'll get out my hammer which by the way is the only tool I own that I'm certain that I use properly.
