Just a follow-up to close the loop.... the symptoms are classic of problems with the fan resistor - gee, I didn't even know one existed. $20 part, and the only challenge is getting it past the air conditioning line to install it (it plugs through the firewall, installed from the engine side, on the passenger side of the vehicle. I presume the resistive coils are in the air-flow path for the ventiliation system.


Thanks for the emailed responses.
