I blame myself. A chunk of heavy paper went down the vent and for 6 mos the blower fan 'ticks' from the paper.
I kept meaning to clean it out.
I didn't.
Now the motor runs slowly (still ticks, responds to speed settings but is slow in all of them).
Sometimes it doesn't run.
Then, the next day it runs.
I sort of smell a 'burning' outside of the car when I get out on the driver side but can't track it down (may be unrelated).

Sounds like the blower motor, right? (Resister pack failure doesn't cause this I think).
I looked for fuse block issues but I might have missed something. I haven't pulled the fuse or (is there a relay?) relay to sniff or look for burning etc.
If it's the fan motor is this a parts counter thing, toyota, wrecker?
Pricey?
Should I be afraid?

Any other ideas?
