86 560sl blower stopped.
When first drove this car the blower was not working. I checked the fuses and they looked fine. The guy I got it from said he fiddled with the switch and it started working. My father drove it for a day and it stopped working.
I have checked fuses again,fiddled with switch,(pulled panel,visually inspected the case of the switch and it "looked" clean),pulled blower cover and it seems to move freely,and all of the electrical connections all look good.
I am wondering if the switch could be bad, or possibly the brushes broke on the blower motor. I am considering pulling the motor to try and test it.
Any suggestions would be great.
I am also not sure of the best way to test the motor other than hooking it up to 12v.
