charged $50 to check for codes and reset the light. can i just disconnect the battery yes. also any suggestions for a scan tool since the miles are adding up on this car and will probably be needing one sooner or later you should be able to display the codes on your odometer. click the ignition three times off-on-off-on-off-on and any stored codes pxxxx will display on the odometer. when finished the odometer will display pdone. you can then look the codes up online do a google search for obd-ii codes. if you want to buy one pretty much any generic obd-ii code reader will do the same and will also let you reset the cel without having to disconnect the battery. heres a pretty cheap one http//www.harborfreight.com/cpi/taf/manuals.taff=form&itemid=46030 .

and if you replace it and it goes out again chances are you need a new blower motor because they start drawing too much current and take out the resistor when the bearings/bushings get bad. larry behold beware believe | | | | there is a blower motor resistor block located in the heater/ac housing | it controls the lower speeds but is bypassed in the high speed. | an open circuit in one of the resistor windings will prevent the lower | speeds from working. | thanks for that information. can you tell me its exact location is it in | the dash behind the glove box or down | lower if its something i can find i could replace it if it does test | open. finding it would be my problem. | | cant help you with location but its a bakelite block usually held in with | two screws. | | .
