1998 eldorado etc heater blower stopped working and smelled something electrical burning. rear blower fine. please help???

 

I've had a 94 and a 97 Eldorado. Both lost their blower motor. Don't bother with a used motor you will just end up replacing it again. I bought new motors online for less than $100. The manual says that you have to drop the engine to get the new blower in. That's not true. It's a pain but you can get the new motor in by removing the coil pack from the engine. Just be careful when you put the new motor in not to damage the squirrel-cage.

on the 97 eldorado it required removing the right (rear) cam cover. There's a bulletin on that also:
