I took the vehicle for a drive and the smell was still there so I shut off the blower, opened the windows and the smell dissipated. Everything seems to be working and no smell with the blower off. The blower still works; any suggestions?
Does anyone know if the speed of the blower motor is controlled by a number of resistive coils like the old days? If so, they can collect gunk when cold and burn it off when used later and produce a "burnt" smell.
If not then this is meaningless.
