I got into an accident this morning. I am ok, but my car is not. I was at a stop sign, a car signaled and proceeded into the turn lane. I pulled into the intersection and the other car changed his mind about turning and collided with me. Into the shop it goes…

The blower fan in my 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT stopped working. Since i bought it, settings 1 - 4 have not worked. Monday, setting 5 stopped working. I checked all the fuses and relays. The Pontiac dealership said to replace the blower fan assembly resistor. Google sent me here:

I spent 2 hours upside down under the dash on the passenger side removing the old resistor. Napa Auto Parts sold me the replacement part for $31.02. I installed the new resistor and presto, my fan works again on all settings, 1 through 5. I love google.

The Mazda broke down RIP. -40 degrees windchill, thank god i have a garage. After determining the ignition coil was not putting out a spark, I swapped it out with a new one from Napa. Started right up, drove around the block, parked, shut it off, tried to turn it over and it wouldn’t start back up. Checked the ignition coil again and found it was fried.

Continue dumping cash into a heap-o-junk, or look elsewhere for wheels… A friend came to my rescue and sold me his ‘99 Pontiac Grand Prix GT! 90k mileage, power-everything, sunroof, 2-door, ABS, SRS, etc, etc.

Stress is relieved.
