Climate Control Issues....

Hi,

We own a 2001 Sportage, and last week my wife commented to me that the heater stopped working. I looked at it, and it won't blow any air through the system when you switch it on, and it occassionally emits a foul odor, though not all the time.

i've been doing some research, and it sounds like i need a new blower motor...but i'm wondering if the foul smell is from the heater core. i've read that they were poorly made. what are the chances that both failed at the same time?

If your going to replace the blower motor might as well do the heater core at the same time, save you 10 hours of removing the dash later on!
