I am in the middle of a feud with my dealer on almost the exact same problem! My blower wouldn't run so I removed it and found that the shaft bearing had rusted and seized the squirrel cage shaft. I freed it up and reinstalled it but it still didn't work. I then RE-uninstalled it and found one of the brushes had overheated and cracked.

I then brought it to the dealer and they replaced the blower motor. I had a $100 deductible on the Wynn's warrantee, so I paid the hundred dollars and went to out to the car to leave. The battery was stone dead.

A mechanic came out and jumpstarted it and I left. When I got home and shut the car off, for some reason I didn't get right out. It was then I noticed a whirring sound, even with the ignition key off. It seems the blower motor was running on low even with the switch AND ignition key off, which immediately explained the dead battery.

I brought it back, they now said the resistor was no good, and fixed it. Now they want ANOTHER $100, as they said the warrantee company processed this as a separate claim.

My contention is that my dealer released the car not fixing the original problem 100% so THEY should eat the $100.

I'm writing an email to the head service manager now to see what they can do.

If you have a blower problem MAKE SURE they check the resistor as well as the blower!!!!!!! Seems when one goes it blows out the other.
