That would be a great improvement. However, the current crop from MB

I would not. I'd check the compressor manifold O-rings for leakage.

There is a test, but I'll have to check with my brother -- it
involves bypassing the motor speed controller.
If the motor is bad, replace it, usually the bearings go out and it
locks up. Brushes are in crimped holders, replacement is iffy, and
if the bearings are bad won't fix the real pro

Fan can be accessed separately by removing wiper assembly.
Anybody know a way he can apply 12V DC directly to the fan for operational
check?

I replaced the brushes of a blower fan on my previous 124, a few years ago.
I recall removal of the wiper assembly was not as bad as it first looks.
But the brushes were only half the problem with the fan. The bearings were
