Hi all,
The blower motor on my 1999 CX just stopped working this morning. If I
turn the **** to any of the "on" positions, I hear a click from behind
the glove box, which is where the motor is. I'm surmising the motor is
shot, and that everything else is ok. I haven't yet checked the fuses
(I'll do that as soon as I get home), but because I hear the clicking,
I'm assuming there is no break in the electrical connection.

So, if I had to buy a motor and install it myself, any ideas on how
long/painful of a process it is? I'd rather not go to the dealer, but
if the consensus is that's it's too painful/long, then I might.

Any thoughts on whether I'm on the right track or if I've missed
something obvious that needs checking would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

First check fuses and the 'resister pack' if it has one
