thanks for the help guys. it's too dark now to look at it. have to wait till tommarow. Only problem is I work everyday, have work and class on wen. and only leaves the weekend for me to do anything with it. and I have no other car to use. If I do wait till the weekend to do it myself (oh i also think the fan is shot too, because it doesnt turn on, not sure if it got hot enough) where is a good place to buy a new one for fairly cheap? and can't wait for shipping. would an auto parts store like autozone carry it? and again, thanks for the help. (i wish my mom wasn't a bitch and I could ask my dad to come help me, but thats a whole different mess lol)
