Blower went out on me...
Kind of a random question but instead of getting tons of speculation over on m.net I thought I'd ask you guys first. Anyway, I go to turn on my heat last night and I get nothing from the blower....heat comes on and creeps out after a while but nothing from the blower. I also noticed my windshield wipers dont wanna come on just after I crank up the car but I'm not sure if that's in anyway related. Thoughts? Ideas?

Interesting. I have the same thing happen from time to time. I searched around for a related common ground. I noticed that if I restarted the car, 50% of the time both would simultaneously work. I then noticed that if I stated the car and they both did not work, and then I turn off the car, and if I then turn the key to the "on" position, (but did not start the car), they would usually work.
I read that if you keep a lot of keys on your car key ring, the weight of that can mess up the cyclinder. I think that is my issue. I now only keep the miata key on the keychain. And, I know if my blower and wipers don't run when I start the car initially, I can usually get them to work by restarting the car or even slightly moving the key in the ignition.
Give it a try. It worked for me.
