I just removed my fresh air box and the brushes seem to have melted all other parts of the motor look fine. Is it possible to get new brushes and or rebuild the motor?

Thanks,
Dan

The fresh air fan doesn't do much for the defroster. That pumps in cold fresh air, not warm air. Warm air defrosts/defogs better--so you leave the fresh air fan off for defrosting.

There's a thread on the "little winky" board (excuse the Z-ism) on the Pelican site; it's on the 911 Tech BBS section I believe. Someone went and rebuilt the motor in their fresh-air blower recently, and took pics. Their fresh-air blower is the same as or at least is very similar to ours.
