The weather here is really cold (for Portland). It's been in the teens and twenties at night and low to mid thirties during the day. Cold snaps here don't usually last very long, but this one has been going on for about five days and isn't expected to change much for at least the next week.
Exactly five days ago (same day the cold started), the heater in my car stopped working. Great timing. I finally had some time two days ago to look into it. I had just enough time to tear the dash apart, look for a manual online and download it, test the fan speed switch, and get a piece of jumper wire from my friend. My flashlights are over at my other friend's place (with the Harley) and I had to stop because I could no longer see what I was doing. Yesterday, I had school and a thing I had to go to for my unemployment and got home just as it was starting to get dark (I hate daylight savings). Hopefully, today I can figure out whats wrong and get it fixed. Or at least order parts if I need them. I wanted to drive to Medford next week, but I'm not willing to do that without a working heater/defroster.
I don't even have a stereo, as I had to remove it to get to the heater controls. I guess that's the least of my worries, but I miss OPB and NPR.
UPDATE
It's fixed! Hooray! It turned out to be a loose connection on the blower motor. I have heat again.
UPDATED UPDATE
It's acting up again. I need to look at this some more.
UPDATED UPDATED UPDATE
Got it working, lost 2 bolts, will it last?
