In this corner of Canada: - Lordco are excellent. - Canadian Tire also carries a really good selection and warranty. - I used to be a Craftsman fan but the lifetime warranty has been dropped by Sears and tools are now only sold in sets.

Fist get an owners manual. It will have most of the lights ID'd. Also Haynes manuals are pretty good. You can download them online at Haynes.com . The gold standard is the manual by Bently publishers. I found it helps to have both the Haynes and the Bentley manuals.

Mice love getting into warm cars on cold nights, and build nests... a nice comfy place can be in vents... Or have very small kids... mine used to love putting things in the vents and have them disappear! Could be cherios

Yes. But most likely its just a broken fan motor.
