The next time the blower goes out, rap on the motor with a screwdriver handle and see if it starts. If so, the motor is bad. For the radio problem you will have to verify all the power and ground supplies while the problem is present. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
