my front ac fan is not turning. To check it out do I go at it from the roof or inside? (85 regal)

thanks,
Tigger

Roof. Typically: remove the outside weather-cover (screws around the base lip). You're looking at the package; the squirrelcage is inside a sheetmetal surround. Remove sheetmetal screws in the top flap and you're looking at the fan. While you're at it check the condenser fins. (Paint the fiberglass weather-cover a pretty body-color OR redo the faded white paint. Now do the same to the rear.)

Also look for cracks around the mounting holes. I often see the carcass of an air conditioner hood alongside the road. Now might be a good time to lay a little epoxy-soaked glass cloth over the hole area. Let it set up and redrill the hole after it is hard.

A new shroud is pretty cheap - for one that old, I'd replace it.

apparently someone was worried about the screw holes because they seled the entire perimeter with a cloth based (fiberglass?) sealent.
