Do "we" have archives from about 2003, when Marshall and I discussed my
blower/porcupine problem? I think he told which wire has 6v, 9v, 12v, and
other "stuff" about the "porcupine."
Check the archives; 'gonna see what I can find on the CD.

8 or 10 years ago, blower on my 91 350SDL was inop because of bad
"porcupine"/controller directly beneath blower and above front passenger
footwell. 'Didn't have time to get replacement "porcupine" before
necessary trip of several days. I wired in a toggle switch which I left
hanging just below the dashboard and by upper right side of center console
within reach of my right hand. It was Summer here in NC and VA, and the
system worked fine. Obviously, I did have access to the right wires
to/from the "porcupine." I believe one has 6v, another 9v, another 12v,
etc., for different blower speeds. I wired the 12v one thru the toggle
switch.
My car does not have glove box; has air bag in its place; if yours has
glove box, the wires may be a little more accessible.
I'll see what I can find on the CD, which I did not have at the time.

Finally got the A/C charged on the SDL. Went to drive it and no A/C! The
problem is compounded by the fact that I need to leave in the morning and
planned to take it on about a 10 day trip.
When the Fan and up/down buttons are pushed, the compressor runs, but
there is no blower. Since this is an 87, it has the large fuse outside
the fusebox as stock. Fuses all seem to be good. I am assuming that the
PBU would be the next suspect. I have no spares.
Is there any way to "hotwire" the fan somewhere without digging out the
fan motor itself?
I know, I know, Jim can resolder the whole board in something like 20
seconds flat. I don't have an electronics shop and I don't have time to
mess with that tonight. If I can get a temporary fix, I can take the
car. Otherwise I have to take the van and that means I can't get the 300D
back from Daughter to work on, and that was part of the point of the
whole trip! Leave SDL, bring back 300D.
