No More Blown Heater Fuses!!!!

[Guest]

I solved my blown heater fuse problem! I rewired the motor though the tailpipe! Well, almost. First, several weeks ago I pulled my old heater out and completely reworked the whole thing. (Took me a year to obtain the parts.) New heater core, new fan motor, new fan, new gaskets, newly painted heater box, new everything...and...I reused the old resistor. What a tightwad. What an idiot. I began to blow fuses by the handful. Bad resistor. I told myself there is no way in heck I was gonna pull that heater out again. So, I pulled the right air duct and unplugged the positive wire to the motor through the 1 1/2"hole in the heater box using a micro light and curved suture hemostats (I will sterilize them before I use them again in the office), bypassing the two-speed resistor dumaflatchi. Ran a new hot wire from the motor to it's own fuse and now I have a heater motor that will almost vacumn the engine bay with the bonnet popped. Who needs a two speed motor? The big thing is I didn't have to pull the heater again! I ran it for several minutes and no blown fuse , no hot wires and no smoke! Amazing what a little B,S&T will do.

That's a great segway into the old gynacologist joke:

Gynacologist decides he's not happy with his career. He always wanted to go to trade school and learn to be a mechanic. He's achieved financial security so decides to follow his dream.

He enrolls at automotive school. Takes all the courses, does well. Loves it. Final exam time, the final is to rebuild a v8 in a set timeframe. It's tough, but achievable.

The (ex) gynacologist finishes with 5 minutes to spare. He's nervous but thinks he did ok.

The examiner comes round, and he's near the end. A lot of his fellow classmates passed with ease, so the pressure is on.

The examiner turns the key - Success! It fires first time. The gynacologist waits for his score....

"150%"

"150% - how can this be?", he asks.

"Well" replies the examiner "you get 100% for rebuilding the engine perfectly. The other 50% is extra credit for doing the entire thing through the exhaust pipe".

Sorry, it's old, but I couldn't resist...

Reminds me of a friend of mine who wanted to be a gynecologist. He gave up the thought when he learned he'd need a medical degree and couldn't always pick his own patients.

(Sorry. End of the year. Stress. You know.)
