First my windshield washers quit squirting, then my blower motor quit. About 1/2 day in between these two malfunctions. I can't hear my washer pump like I usally do and my blower just wont blow. I checked the fuses under the dash and found them to be fine. I checked the fuse under the hood labeled in my manual as blower motor relay, 50 amp, and found it to be fine. This happened as I was in route to Chicago on a freezing night. 7 deg. And can't figure what happened so quickly to an otherwise great vehicle.

Hi:
Make sure the w/s washer fluid didn't freeze on the hoses. Disconnect the hose from the pump and see if it sprays from there. Keep in mind, it could have actually frozen in the pump itself. As far as the heater, chances are the blower motor resister went bad. What I suggest is to check for power to the motor itself. If you don't have power and everything you mentioned is good, the resister would be my guess. If you have power to the motor, the motor may have gone bad.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Joe
