If your blower motor has been intermittent or some days it wont come on until you drive for a while your motor brushes are most likely at the end of their life. This is something you may just want to replace as a preventative measure. 20 year heater motor brushes are very prone to failing at any time. If it has not failed yet it most likely will sometime soon.
If your car has a over 150,000 miles on it or you know the heater motor has been run a lot, the best time to do this job is now! Do not wait for it to quit on you on a cold winter morning.
PLEASE NOTE: These brushes will not work on a Seimens motor. Remove your motor to determind which one you have. You will see Behr written on the plastic housing.
