Hope that cause was resistor failure, not over-voltage from switch - sudden failure while operating leans towards that failure. Still have the gauge issue with the fuel & temp. Will look under seat for rust/corrosion next. Hope that it is not an instrument cluster problem. Could BCM cause only a gauge problem?

I popped off the panel under the glovebox, and found the wires going into the blower motor were at an angle... sometimes connected, sometimes not. Just adjusted the wires so they were always putting pressure on the connector, and voila! No problems since. Cheers, Mike
#4 of 4 Salvage yard by miwright Sep 08, 2009 (10:34 am)
I went to the local salvage yard today where they had three wrecked Azteks. Since Napa was going to charge 77 dollars for the "number 10" (passenger compartment fuse box), and no auto parts store could get the diodes... I was happy to pay fifteen dollars and get several of each! I highly recommend this. Cheers, Mike
