My thought as well. Have you measured current draw on a new blower
motor and compared it to one that is installed in a car where the FSU
has failed? that would tell you whether there's any merit to this idea
or not.


My inclination is to do exactly the same thing I do with the cooling system
issues: blame German engineers who seem to believe that their climate is
typical of the entire world.

I don't see why it is so hard to unpot one of these things and repair them
directly, especially if it's a semiconductor failure. Put a bigger transistor
in there.
