Well that was pretty easy.
I ordered the Rock Auto RU539 blower part, it arrived yesterday and probably took me <20 minutes to install it. Blower runs perfectly now and my "Check Engine" light which had come on three days ago went out as well.
The easiest way to install it was to:
-remove the air cleaner and the lower air cleaner box
-remove the cruise control servo
-remove 4 bolts holding windshield washer/coolant container and slide it forward about 6"
-remove and replace 2 bolts holding the blower module assembly
-reassemble
What is strange is that the EATC test procedure (press OFF and FLOOR simultaneously, then press AUTOMATIC within 2 seconds) never revealed any fault codes when the blower module was having issues or even after the Check Engine light came on. (?)
Oh well, everything is working fine now.
Thanks for the help as always.
