Default What I did

Blower motor overhaul on v70 replaced thermal fuse on resistor pack.
Blower now works on all speeds, very happy with that project and only took an hour or so to do.

Ordered more parts for the wagon: Fwd pump seal for the tranny install, pcv system, cabin filter, and turbo return seal.

Saturn: Put the Fresh Air filter in it to kill the mold. Wet down the trunk panel to try to flaten it out.
