My cooling fans failed on me while driving in a parade last year. Luckily I was able to exit the parade before the engine got too hot.
After troubleshooting the circuit with my test light and the wiring diagram (found here) I found the culprit – a bad changeover relay.
Luckily I have a few on hand, and was able to update it to a 30/40.

My blower motor was horrendously loud and didn’t always work on the low speed. It also has lots of corrosion in it. I bought a replacement, and finally found time to install it. I’m happy to report the new motor is quieter and works on all speeds.
