On the contrary, I do get some airflow at a very low rate. If there's
any difference between the high and low settings it isn't readily
apparent. Both produce about what would usually come from the lowest
setting.

There's a new sound, now, too, coming from someplace hard to peg in the
right half of the dash, a sort of whirring when the blower is on.
Something not spinning right.

I'll have to pull out the Haynes and the tools this weekend and have a
look in there.
