    The problem beagn with an erratic performance of the blower motor. It would run at different speeds and ultimately would not shut off even with the key removed, folowed by an electrical burning smell and then nothing would work. It was the final stage unit (aka the fan resistor) $220.00 to fix at the local gargae.
