Yesterday I found a can of wd-40 specialist rust release.   I decided to soak the blower motor with this stuff for a bit and then spin it by hand for probably 10–5 minutes.   It continued to get better to where it was pretty smooth when spinning it.   I then cleaned it up with some electric motor cleaner.  After it was dry I connected it to a battery and it worked!  It smoked lightly at first but then cleared up and ran full speed.   I did that a number of times and eventually let it run for 5 minutes or so.  Decided to mount it back in the hvac box with a new Gm oe resistor (22807122) and it worked on all speeds but #5  Hmmm.   Let it run on 4 for a while and put an amp clamp on it.  The motor in the box pulls right around 13 amps.  Not sure if that’s normal or not.  <a href="https://share.icloud.com/photos/003dv_bGEH_vFr3t75m04e5Gw" target="_blank">Video</a>Sounds like I might need to check a fuse or two to figure out the #5 speed issue.  That would be a bummer if the new resistor was bad.  I’m tempted to just run this motor as it runs great now and smooth and quiet.  Got new headlight  and marker housings  cerakoted and installed.
