Thanks Tom - My Indy is also my nephew, and he ends up doing most of my car work. I appreciate the comment as I was just going to order the Bosch and have it in time to make sure it is working for the drive to Miami next week. I don't want to be down there without it. Nephew wrote down all the codes and was going to look them up, but was on his way out to do something with his kids. I'll call tomorrow. Bill R

It could be the blower, but the blower motor regulator is a common failure on the 140. Not sure if it is a weak part or a lack of maintenance on the filter, or both. Testing and replacing the regulator and blower is pretty straightforward and is overexplained here: http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/W140BlowerMotor What code was the check engine light reporting? You may have two separate problems. (Probably do, but I am wrong a lot.)
