Nope , transistor will go out before that will , take out the electric motor and look at the windings . Educate yourself son

Gee dad, I thought that's what my degree in mechanical engineering had done

Point is - the failure rate of IMRC from heat is a HUGE issue. If you'd bothered to search around you'd see tens to maybe even hundreds of posts about it. Many times near dead IMRC's can be reliably used after removing the heat catcher or relocating them off the valve cover. It's been a proven fix. But if you say it's the transistor in an all knowing tone obviously we're all just dumb! Oh, and I've looked at 2 different motors thanks - the 1st dead one is currently back in use in a friends car located under his battery tray.
